We do not have access to your tax return; we can not see your unique inputs. With that in mind:
- If your employer issues you a stand-alone bonus check, your bonus will be subject to the 22% withholding flat rate if it is $1 million or less for 2022.
- Bonuses can be subject to state income taxes as well. These tax rates vary by state.
- You may have to pay the 1.45% Medicare tax on your bonus plus the 6.2% Social Security tax on the amount of your wages, including your bonus, that is below the $147,000 Social Security cap (tax year 2022).
