Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There is no other way to enter the Medicare tax other than the w-2 or calculated in self-employment.  

  • Was the bonus included in the W-2?  If so, the Medicare payment should also be.
  • Where you issued a 1099-MISC for the bonus.  If so, it should have been entered as self-employment and the Medicare would be calculated separately.
  • I'm not sure why your employer had you pay out of pocket, and did the employer pay his half?

I'm sorry!  I'm giving you more questions than answers, but I don't understand the circumstance.
