I received bonus pay, and in addition to that bonus lunches for Perfect Attendance, also sometimes the Manager would buy us pizza for working hard or and maybe meeting goal(s), so that is like an award as well for my service to the company, but the only thing the employer included in my income was the bonus pay, and they paid me in separate checks for the bonus pay versus the other pay they gave me, and I read online about if you are paid separately for the bonus it is or and could be a 22% rate. So, how could I get the tax percentage rated differently than the other pay being the company included them in one lump sum on my W-2? Unless maybe they did tax if differently at first but when they reported it on the W-2 they just put all the pay in one lump sum.
