There’s a considerable debate about whether bonuses should be taxed.
There’s a considerable debate about whether bonuses should be taxed.
The question is whether or not the bonus is income, and if so, what type of income? In general, most people agree that it’s subject to taxes. But there are some exceptions:
Small businesses get most of their income from bonuses.
You may be surprised to learn that bonuses are a big part of the income of small businesses. They are not taxed as interest, capital gains, or other payment types.
However, if you received a bonus in 2017, it will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates (see below).
The Internal Revenue Service will only tell people what they can and cannot deduct on their tax returns.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will only tell people what they can and cannot deduct from their tax returns. According to the U.S. Tax Code, this is because it’s not obligated to do so. The IRS does not offer any guidance on this matter because it has no legal obligation to provide advice regarding whether or not a specific deduction is allowable under federal law.
There are many misconceptions about how deductions work, including the idea that all your expenses must be itemized before being deductible; some people think that if you don’t itemize your deductions, then they’re automatically lost forever; others believe that all of their legal business expenses are eligible for write-offs but only if written down somewhere in the black and white form in their books (which isn’t true).

These taxes could be as much as 20% when you only make $50,000 a year.
Taxes are not the only cost of doing business. You’ll also have to pay taxes on any bonuses you receive, as well as any other benefits such as insurance and 401(k) contributions.
This is why it’s essential to understand how these different types of taxes apply to ensure you’re paying them correctly when filing your taxes.
Make sure you understand which kind of bonus you’ll have to pay taxes on
You may have to pay taxes on a bonus if you’re not being paid exclusively with money.
If your employer gives you an amount of cash or other property equal to the value of the money they’ve already paid you, this is considered part of your wages and will be taxed at source (i.e., when it’s paid). For an employer to make sure this happens, they’ll usually send out a tax form for you to fill out before receiving their payment so that they can deduct all necessary expenses from it (like postage) from their taxable income.
