Legal Question in Employment Law in Washington

I found out that my former employer made a mistake on all my paychecks, instead of him adding our credit card tips he deducted them. I have tried to contact him about it and I can't get an answer back. He also put on my w-2 that he payed them to us. So not only did he not pay us our tips he deducted them from our paycheck and wants us to pay taxes on it.
