OK, here's one for you finance gurus. Last tax year, there was a large difference between the FX "IEarnings" green screen gross income as an F/O...and the eventual W-2 "here's what you made" gross income/taxable amount. Almost 20k difference.

Now..that gap has narrowed. 4k difference between the two...big tax hit as a result. Is this a situation where the company is passing the tax obligation--ie. the taxable deviation banks? Just the result of a higher tax bracket? Or something else I'm missing?

Anybody else noticing this? Or should I go sit in the corner and color?
