Today, I found out that my employers apparently haven't been taking enough money out of my paychecks, and now I owe thousands of dollars in taxes. I already live paycheck to paycheck despite doing nothing but work. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, according to my tax bill, I’ve been employed by a company I interviewed for over a year ago. They apparently hired me but forgot to tell me, then they also forgot to fire me for not turning up, so I’m somehow their unpaid employee and yet owe taxes for wages I’ve never been paid. FML

You're supposed to inform your employer of how much to take out of your check to go toward taxes.

In the USA, employees fill out a W4 form at the beginning of employment. If an employee claimed more deductions than they're entitled to, that's their own fault. Though it would have been nice to have an adult guide employees who don't know how that works.
