Son of a bitch.
 Really takes the steam out of the engine when you bust your ass doing great work, even exceeding what you are supposed to do, only to have the lousy, gorram goverment take HALF!  I have exceeded my sales quotas most every day I've worked there, came in when they needed a extra hand, gotten customers to buy extra items & enjoyed doing so. I am proud of the work I do. But I don't do it to pay for someone elses bills.  *rant off* |

Yep. They took half of my bonus as well. I never understand why it's taxed the same as a regular paycheck.

Bonuses are withheld at the maximum marginal tax rate (33%). You'll get the remainder over your actual tax rate netted against your tax liability and/or in your refund.
ETA: This applies to high income earners. I'm not sure what goes on for lower incomes. I hate individual taxation.

Have them cut a separate check, apart from the weekly (or bi-weekly). Fuck an interest-free loan to bloated .gov
Edit: NM, I'm thinking overtime. Put your withholding right below the legal limit and pay in april what you "owe" |

Well, if it wasn't for other people buying your stuff you wouldn't have made that money, now it's time to help out and give back.

Been on a bonus/commision plan for years so I'm used to this. Nothing sucks worse than losing 40% in taxes, it would be worse if my company didn't deduct 401K contributions from my bonus checks. Strangely they used to not do this.
I'm going to get flamed for this but if 15% is good enough for a guy flipping stocks WTF should I be paying 30+%?

I seem to remember getting bonuses in, say, 2006 and the government taking out just as much. But here I come to find out this is all a new phenomenon! I guess I learn something every day. |

this is the way it's always been. Bonuses are taxed as if they were your (pay-period) income (as if you got that amount every pay period); when you file your taxes, you get a chunk back as a refund.
If you get your bonus early enough in the year, you can adjust your withholdings to zero out the refund. |

I am fortunate to get a monetary bonus and a stock bonus. I only pay capital gains when the stock vests AFAIK. One time I won a contest where I got $500, they paid me $787 or something like that so I would really get my $500

You were lucky enough that the government lets you keep that much. Your success is just a product of living in the United States, so it was never really yours to begin with.

Unless you are at the very top most tax bracket, you are going to get some of that money back at tax time. They do max withholding, which is likely not the same as the tax rate you will actually have to pay on that money. And as far as those stock flippers, they are going to get fucked come 2013 too. 15% to 30%, I think. So rest easy, the Feds will leave no penny unturned.
