California: Bonuses are taxed at a supplemental flat rate of 10.23% for standard supplemental income and a higher rate of 13.3% for stock options and bonuses above $1 million. New York: The state taxes bonuses as part of total annual income, with rates ranging from 4% to 10.9%, depending on the income bracket.
The federal bonus tax withholding rate is typically 22%. However, employers could instead combine a bonus with your regular wages as though it's one of your usual paychecks—with your usual tax amount withheld. There are ways to reduce the tax impact of your bonus.
In 2023, year-end bonuses were down between 3.8 percent and 36.2 percent from 2022 depending on industry, and down between 12.3 percent and 36.7 percent compared to 2021, ing to data from payroll company Gusto, which analyzed data from more than 300,000 clients.
Ing to an April 2021 Salary survey, the median signing bonus was $1,000 for hourly employees and $7,500 for salaried employees. Again, this is highly dependent on individual circumstances but may give employers a general feel for how much to offer.

You generally deduct the repayment on the same form or schedule on which you previously reported it as income. For example, if you reported it as self-employment income, deduct it as a business expense on Schedule C (Form 1040) or Schedule F (Form 1040).
There are two options here: The employer provides a W2C for the original tax year in which the employee received the bonus. The employee can then amend that original tax year to receive back the amount of overpaid tax. The employer refuses to issue a W2C for the year that the bonus was originally given to the employee.
