For those who left in 2023…..I took my severance and bonus in 2024. So I have a W2 even though I didn’t work for AT&T. Makes sense as I was paid. I have several paystubs reflecting the various payments. However, the W 2 reflects thousands more than I received and that are shown as YTD earnings on the latest paystub. I’ve been digging into this and I think the W2 includes the amount that was in my management cash plan. But that amount was immediately transferred into a rollover IRA, a move that Fidelity assures me is legit and not taxable.
I’ve tried speaking with the support center. They can’t explain the discrepancy and insist my accountant can. My accountant can’t - if payroll doesn’t know why a W 2 is different form YTD pay, what can he do.
Anyone else seen this and resolved it?
