Yes, you will leave the bonus on your W-2 the way it is with your regular wages.
Bonus money is included in Box 1 of your W-2. It is taxed and treated the same as your regular wages.
When it is paid in separate checks, the taxes withheld can be different than your regular income wages, WHEN it is withheld. This is because that bonus is treated as supplemental income instead of just your regular every day pay and it may boost your tax bracket depending on the amount. However, when it comes time to file your taxes it is lumped in with all your other wages and treated the same.
