Ex-boss Committed Wage Theft And Potential Tax Fraud (north Carolina)

Last year my ex- boss closed her business and left at least me and 3 others without our last two paychecks.

We took it to the labor board. after a very long and draw out process where she lied to the labor board and told them she issued us checks and then later acknowledged that we hadn’t cashed the checks (nobody received them). She then blocked the case manager, deleted her email, all social media, and her phone number and moved addresses!

The labor board found in our favor and ordered her to pay us. - I don’t have a lot of detail about this or how they were able to contact her.

Shortly after that she filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy.

I was never notified about the bankruptcy filing and didn’t know until the case was already settled. I’m looking through the filing now and while she included me as a debtor I’m listed as a non-priority claim— and my address is wrong (it’s listed as the department of labor and they didn’t contact me to tell me about the bankruptcy either).

Is that right? She owes me wages, shouldn’t I be a priority claim? Does this mean I won’t get anything she owes me?

And now, a few days ago, my W2 was uploaded to quickbooks. After very carefully comparing my W2 to my bank deposits I can tell that she over reported my income by about a thousand dollars. Which is a considerable amount of my income, I was working part-time and a student. It looks like it’s from those last two paychecks that I was never paid. She acknowledged to the labor department we never cashed those checks/had not received them.

Is that potentially tax fraud or some kind of fraud? I never received that money but I am being taxed on it as though I am.

I have no way to contact her to ask her to fix the w-2

I’d appreciate any insight and I’ll answer any questions I can; these documents are hard for me to decipher. Thank you.
