I’ve been double taxed

Hello, I’m a healthcare worker in NYS. I got an extra payment for working during the pandemic but it was already taxed on my paystub. When I filed my taxes I was told I have to pay $500 back because of this. Can you help me understand why this is? If it was already taxed it shouldn’t be taxed again right?

Deductions and Write-Offs

deduction for piano as a gift to charity or educational institution

Tax question. We have a Steinway grand piano appraised for $25,000 that we are interested in gifting to a charity, church or educational institution. We file taxes as married filing jointly. Our annual income is $121K and we typically just use the standard deduction. How much of the $25,000 can we deduct from our tax return for this year, and will this large deduction trigger an IRS audit? Is there a way of forstalling this? Thanks.
