Based on the information provided, it does sound like it should have been a lump sum A amount. So was it just included in your normal salary and wages figure or excluded altogether? Depending on your taxable income for that year it may or may not have made a difference. As a broad indication, if it was included in your salary and wages income instead and your marginal tax rate was over 30% (taxable income over $135K) it may make a difference as lump sum A payouts are taxed at a max of 30% plus Medicare. If that's the case, I would suggest you speak to your employer.
