No True-ups, they tax the gross amount of the severance monies.

"I heard hey tru-up severance is this not the case?" You mean give you enough so that after taxes you get the stated severance amount? Not for normal management at any rate (perhaps for top execs).

If your vacation was paid out, it too was taxed the same...considered 'bonus pay'...consider it a bonus you got out...you'll survive.

@1gjg, knowingly giving the government a no interest loan is an ill-advised savings plan.

first off it's the law, secondly if you overpay in your taxes, you'll get it back come income tax time. Consider it a savings fund come tax time.

And that is Verizon's fault why? You want them not to withhold taxes as required by law?

When we're you let go? We're you in a store? I'd be OK with uncle sam taking 29% as long as u don't have to come back to this s***hole store.
