So on Monday I get myself ready to file my taxes I had to print out my own W-2 as they've already failed to send it to me. I get everything ready and calculated it turns out I owe $1332 federally.

This was apparently caused due to an error that commonly occurred around the time of my hiring last year, they corrected the system in December of last year, and didn't think to check their employee records and get them corrected, didn't think to send out a mass email, didn't do a thing to make sure that I wouldn't be getting screwed. Still have yet to fully file in the hope that this could be corrected but by the end of today I will be forced to file in order to receive my state return in time to pay off my federal debt.
