Any payment from your employer, no matter what the employer calls it or what reason they give for it, is supposed to be treated as wages and included in the wages on your W-2. If the bonus is not included in your W-2 at the end of the year, or if your employer gives you a Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC for the bonus, check back here when you are working on your 2022 tax return for instructions on how to enter it in TurboTax so that you don't get stuck paying more tax than you should.
