Self employed

When your employer provides you with a bonus, they will usually report it on your W-2 in box 1—but it's combined with your normal wages or salary. In the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service, your bonus is no different than the salary you receive.  

 

Your employer should have included your bonus in box 1 of your W-2.

 

Per VolvoGirl and DoninGA, if you are unsure of whether your bonus is included in your box 1 income of your W-2, you should contact your employer to verify this.
