175.0. "DESERT STORM & DEC PAY" by SAHQ::STEIGER (Arizona wants me) Tue Jun 25 1991 21:58

    I spent 5 1/2 months in the Gulf during which time Digital was
    thoughtful enough to "pay the difference" between my military pay and
    my normal Digital salary.  Now, the folks at Corporate Payroll have my
    LES's (Leave and Earnings Statements) and are hard at work calculating
    what I have to pay back to Digital.
    
    Has anyone been thru this process before, or have you just finished it
    visa-vie Desert Storm?  I am very interested in the tax consequences of
    having to pay back Digital with after-tax dollars and am wondering if
    someone else's experience supports this concern.

    The payback for me was with before tax dollars.  It took me a while to
    understand it but after a lengthly call to the finance people, they
    were kind enough to fill me in on how it is done.  I could try to
    explain it but I think they would do a much better job at it than I could.

    If its like me, you won't pay them, they won't pay you part of the pay
    you get every week, so they don't tax you on what you don't get paid in
    the future, till what you don't get paid equals what you shouldn't have
    been paid.  Got it.....
