what your employer did is not proper. the bonus should have been on the w-2 and Medicare and FICA taxes taken out. you are misreporting the income otherwise. you will pay double those taxes this way and may even get the QBI deduction which as employee compensation don't qualify for. if your employer won't comply, you can inform them you'll be contacting the IRS to pursue this matter. and that's what you are supposed to do

Your employer should have reported your bonus on your W-2 as noted. There is a way for you to report it and pay only your share of medicare and social security tax. The IRS will go back to your employer for their share. Here are the steps to report your bonus with your W-2.

See the IRS Form SS-8 to determine if you should have been paid as an employee.

On the dotted line to the left of the amount on line 1 there will be a notation "F8919" and the amount. Form 8919 will be included in the return, with reason code H in column (c). Form 8919 will calculate the Social Security and Medicare taxes that your employer should have withheld from the bonus. The total of these taxes will appear on Schedule 2, line 6, and will be included in your total tax liability.

Click the Federal Taxes tab. (In TurboTax Self-Employed or Home & Business click the Personal Tab.)
Click Wages & Income. (In TurboTax Self-Employed or Home & Business click Personal Income.)
Scroll all the way down to the last section "Less Common Income." Click the Start button for the last topic, "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C."
On the next screen click the Start button for "Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099."
The next screen asks "Did you receive any other wages?" Select Yes and click Continue.
The next two screens ask about household employee wages and sick or disability pay. Click Continue on these two screens without entering anything.
The next screen asks "Did you earn any other wages? Select Yes and click Continue.
The next screen asks the source of the other earned income. Select "Employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2." Ignore the note that says not to enter compensation for which you will receive a 1099. Click Continue.
On the next screen, "Employee Compensation Not Reported on a W-2," click Continue.
If you are filing a joint return, you will get a screen asking which one of you the income is for. Select your name and click Continue.
On the next screen, "Report Your Wage Income," enter the employer's name and EIN from your W-2. When entering the EIN, you must enter the hyphen after the first two digits. For Total Wages Received, enter the amount on the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC. Select Reason Code H. Click Continue.
On the next screen, "Report as Wages," click Done.
This returns you to the Miscellaneous Income screen. Click Continue.
