conversation: User (peaksix): "I worked at a small business and left about a month ago. As far as I could tell, everything was squared way paycheck-wise. I received a full paycheck, and then I was hand-written a check for the extra few days on the new pay cycle. \n\nThen, last week, I received my usual paycheck via direct deposit into my bank account. I talked to the owner, and he said his bank screwed up. Now he just texted me today asking for me to write a check for that amount and drop it off at the office. Besides being annoyed with having to take time out of my day to correct his mistake, is this a proper thing to do? As I understand it, if he "paid" me another paycheck, that's going to be on my tax return at the end of the year. And by returning the money this way, it doesn't necessarily reverse that, correct? Shouldn't he also just be able to debit my account? Or should I maybe talk to my bank?\n\nThanks\n\n**Edit:** I just talked to the owner and explain my concerns with the tax return. He said he "didn't think his bank could reverse it." He also said "When you do your taxes it will look as income, and as a deduction, thus negating itself." I'm not sure what that means. Can anyone explain?"
