Legal Question in Workers Comp in Kansas
My past employer has made a direct deposit of a paycheck after I quit the company and is asking for the money back. My question is: should I return the money back, will this extra paycheck affect my W-2, what happens to the 401(K), Medicare taxes, federal tax and state tax that went out from this paycheck? TIA

If this transaction occurred in the last thirty days, the taxes haven't been paid to the government or the401k. If it has been more than30, but less than 88, it is unlikely that these things have been paid. You should ask firmer employer to accept $25-100 less than they put in, for your inconvenience caused by their mistake. But, you did nut earn the money so you owe it back.
Good luck
