I'm a bartender at a bar. My employers automatically report my credit card tips that are tipped under my POS account to the government as pure wages. The problem is, I split tips with my coworkers, and I tip out barbacks.
So lets say I made $400 in tips on a given night my coworker made $200
We pool it together to make $600, give the barback 20%
then we split and each take home $240
well the government thinks I made $400 when in reality I only take home $240
this has been happening all year without me knowing until just now.
Also I dont have paystubs. We take home cash. My paystubs just show my measly little $2 an hour I make that go directly towards taxes.
How do I even begin to correct this? I was shocked when my W2 showed I made way more than I actually do, and I owe so much money.
