It depends. The employer does have some control when paying a bonus, however most often they use a flat 22% for federal withholding. The link below will provide more information for you.
When W-2s are issued it should include regular wages and any bonus pay. Likewise the federal withholding will a combined amount of your regular federal withholding and the 22% withheld from your bonus.
When you file your tax return, it is all included with your return to determine total tax, refund and/or balance due.
