Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Especially the signing bonus...definitely...that should add to your expected gross for the year. Not only should there have been some withholding for that...but the extra income could easily put you in a higher expected tax bracket.....requiring the employer to extract higher withholding from regular pay this year....but not next year (unless you get a raise);

For the relocation expenses...I'm not sure since there have been some changes as to how the $$ are recorded for tax purposes.
......I "think" that if they just send you a lump $$ amount for moving, where you don't have to validate your moving expenses...then the lump they pay you is all taxable income, and that might also send you into an expected higher tax bracket......but I "think" that if you submit your expenses, and they only reimburse you for what your actual costs were...then most or all of it doesn't get recorded as income for the year.
..but like I said, I'm not sure what the current rules are tax-wise for those $$
