Legal Question in Tax Law in Florida

First of all, if you worked and were never paid, the company owes you the money and must pay you. You can file a wage and hour claim against them if they don't pay. Regarding the IRS issue, what is the source of the $1,300 in income the IRS is claiming that you owe? Is it related to the two weeks you weren't paid for? If so, I'm not sure I understand how the IRS would come up with that information unless your previous company reported wages they did not actually pay. In that case, you can report them to the IRS and have the IRS do an investigation.

Be sure to respond to the IRS inquiry, as they may treat your failure to respond as a default. Call them, there should be a number on your letter, and ask if they can supply you with a copy of the 1099 or W-2 that, apparently, they received from the company. You also have a cause of action against the company if they issued a false 1099.
