- pcthrowaway 5y agoIf you get a signing bonus that you pay taxes on, then have to return part of it the following year, do you get to deduct it from taxes?
- delecti 5y agoI stayed over 5 years, so I never had to repay any bonus. I can't be sure what the tax implications would be of it, but based on what I know about taxes (more than most, less than an expert) I suspect it would count against your taxable income in the year when you had to pay it back.
- junar 5y agoYes, as long as the amount you repaid exceeds $3,000. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p525#en_US_2020_publink1000229603 https://www.irs.gov/publications/p525#en_US_2020_publink1000...
