I found this on a website:
The percentage method. If your employer chooses this option, they will identify your bonus payment as separate income from your regular wages and automatically withhold 22% for taxes.
I have read that if the Bonus was paid separately from your regular pay that it is or and may be withheld tax at the 22% rate, but is that Mandatory or just A choice if you are paid separately for the Bonus income for it to be the 22% tax rate or and whatever the rate be at the time. Mainly what I need confirmed is: Regardless if the money Bonus' or and food bonus' which were normally paid to us at or close to the same time frame for Perfect Attendance and other rewards or and Bonus' whenever that was. Which form or and line for my IRS Tax return, and State of New Jersey Tax return should that be reported on for the Correct tax rate(s), that applies to Bonus income paid in separate paychecks, but mixed together with my other income on the W-2. I don't know if it makes a difference what tax rate the company used or not, but if the Bonus money is mixed in with the Regular income on Box 1 etc. of W-2, but I put the non money bonus' under Miscellaneous income, will they both get taxed at the correct tax rate or whatever applies to those items, or and is there another form or whatever that one or both need to be reported on so that the taxes will be correct ( the proper tax rate or and tax may or may not was already applied to at least the Federal).
And if I over report any of the income, will that cause New Jersey to give me the incorrect amount back for a refund if I get one? I don't want them to give me a larger refund than what I should receive if any refund.
Once a month if I had perfect attendance, then normally the company would provide us with a 6" Subway sandwich. As far as the Manager buying us pizza for our hard work or and whatever, not sure if any round about time frame, maybe no more than once or twice a month, but the Manager did not do this in every month of the year, maybe a couple or a few months if not more in 2023. I had this job when I lived in another state at least, and quit the job a little while before making New Jersey my Domicile at least.
