A week ago I learned my employer has been withholding state taxes for a state i have not lived in or worked in during 6 years of employment. They have rolled back the current year state tax deduction, propose to hire a CPA to fix all my W2's & to file 3 years of back tax returns for a refund (3yr statute of limitations for filing tax returns). They don't seem to know what to do about the 1st 3 years, mentioned casually its the COO's decision if anything, and even have begun to insinuate it is in part my own fault. My W-4 is has been correct since my hire date, I have never asked for this deduction. I think I get they are trying to minimize what they owe me by using the tax returns to refund me, however I am starting to be concerned they don't feel liable for part of or the whole amount of the 1st 3 years.
I am not good at taxes, or law, or money in general... I may be wrong but they do owe me for all those wages, right? I am unsure if I need an lawyer or go to the Dept of Labor?
