Legal Question in Employment Law in Minnesota
Paycheck taxes
My employer didn't pay the payroll company so we no longer have direct deposit of our paychecks. He has started paying me with a company check but he has not taken out any taxes. The check is the amount I received before AFTER taxes. Is this going to mess me up when I go to file my tax return next year? I would assume he has to claim where he spent the money - I don't want to end up owing any back taxes, especially when I never had the money to begin with.

Re: Paycheck taxes
You will need to retain sufficient funds to pay your taxes if Employer is failing to withhold.
You may also wish to contact Payroll co.to ensure all prior W/H amounts were paid into Fed + State.
