Get your taxes done using TurboTax

With the monthly commission checks it appears the employer simply counted all as W2 pay for tax purposes and withheld based on his W4.  If the payment were lump sum then the withholding would have been 25%.  I suggest working with the employer to find the right balance for withholding.
