I received my W2 yesterday and it was exactly half what I made during the year. When I contacted my previous employer, he stated that I was paid from different company accounts (wired with no paystub) who were not setup for payroll and that he would have to send me 1099's for the rest. He withheld taxes from that pay but never submiited them to the IRS. I told him I would contact the IRS to see if I was OK from a legal standpoint but he stated that if I did, he would have to send me another W2 for this year and that I wouldn't get a return on it until next year. I really need my return. Is what he doing legal? If I file 1099's am I commiting tax fraud?
