If the bonus is not included in your W-2 or if you have not received a form 1099-MISC for it, you may enter it as Other Reportable Income:

  1. Federal Taxes
  2. Wages and Income
  3. Scroll down to Less Common Income
  4. Select Miscellaneous Income
  5. Select Other reportable income, select ‘yes’ and you will be prompted to enter Description and amount.
