No.  A bonus is not overtime.   Your bonus will be on your W-2 in box 1.   The software will reconcile whether you  owe tax or get a refund based on the amount in box 2 that shows how much tax was withheld from all of your income including the bonus.

No.

 

End-of-year bonuses are taxable and do not qualify for the overtime deduction.
