You do not do anything special about the bonus on your tax return. You just enter the W-2 and allow the software to do the calculations. There is no special tax or tax rate applied to a bonus. on your tax return. What matters is the total amount of income and the total amount of tax withheld. All of the other variables such as filing status, dependents claimed, deductions, credits, etc. will also be used to determine whether you owe more or get a refund.
