repayment of sick days paid by payroll error

my employer paid me 5 days of sick leave by mistake, I wasn't sick. I want my sick day accrual bank rebalanced, my employer offered me a solution that requires a total repayment to get my 5 sick days back. However, they paid me $1833.8 in total, $1188.37 of which went to pretax deduction, union due, pension, 457b plan, etc. $187.21 went to taxes, net pay was $458.22, what's the tax impact if I pay them back the whole amount? if I use my sick days in the future, I would be taxed again right? thanks!!!

Nonresident Tax Issues

Resident in 1 state, received unemployment and retirement cash out from another, do I file in both states?

Lived in WI all of 2022. Received unemployment from CA. The claim carried over from when I lived there in 2021. Claim ended mid 2022 when I only lived in WI. Cashed out retirement in 2021 from CALSTRS but received an additional check in January of 2022. Do I need to file income taxes in just WI where I was a resident or do I need to file in both states due to the income I received from unemployment and retirement from CA?

Joint Annuity with one Owner under 59 1/2

My wife and I have a joint non-qualified annuity. I am over 59 1/2 years of age but she is not. We want to cash out our annuity (full surrender). Since she is under 59 1/2, will we incur a 10% IRS penalty on the taxable proceeds? Thank you. Peter

Health Care

Health insurance Reimbursement

I worked at a company that did not provide health insurance, and had to sign up for Marketplace Insurance. During the 2022 tax year I worked for that company from January thru May of 2022 and paid the Marketplace Insurance based on the small salary that I received from them. Then in mid April of 2022 I was employed by a new company that provided insurance and an increase in salary. At the start of May I informed Marketplace that I was discontinuing my insurance since I received a new position. My question is when I do my taxes online it asks for the information from the 1095-A form that I received from Marketplace. My taxes before entering the 1095-A show a small return. After I enter the 1095-A form it show me owing over $700.00. Is that correct? On Turbo Tax it says I owe money because my salary increased from what they gave me the original discount on. I am confused because I cancelled the Marketplace Insurance when I moved to a new job and its making me pay a penalty for my increase in salary. But, that increase was after I dropped Marketplace Insurance. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
