Hi Guys,

I'm French and lived and work in US for several years (working for a French company), came back to Europe in 2018 (still working for the same company).

In 2019 I received some bonus in the US, so had to do a tax declaration, my company insisted to put flight ticket cost, temporary accommodation in France etc into the 2019 Tax declaration.

Il left my previous company in 2020

Time to get process with the IRS, I received the tax return from them 6 months (so in 2020 after I left my previous company -which is no asking me 4k as Tax Equalization Payment- (which is basically the total amount of the Tax Return and more than the bonus I got int he US in 2019).

I might have miss an email or two. But my previous company is contacting me now and asking me for the 4k.

I left the US almost 4 years ago, I left this company 2 years ago. Long story short, do I owe them anything at the end ? And I do, can they do anything about it ?

Thanks for your help.
