Tax ?

If you got a year end bonus that was 40% of your annual salary. What kind of tax bracket do you think this would put you in. Yes, I know there are variables depending on what I claim and what not. Just wondering if anyone can kinda sorta figure that out?

Annual salary + Bonus (assuming bonus was paid in 2011) = Total Compensation
Total compensation - personal exemotion and standard deduction = Taxable income (will close enough for government work)
Taxable income will determine your tax bracket.

as Archie notes.... tax is based upon total income and total allowable deductions.... tax is not based on the size of a bonus....
by example.... if you made a 50K salary and got a 20K bonus (40%) your total income is 70 and your tax is based on that.... the total income you collected....

moon, the one you reference has to do with the required tax withholding, not the actual tax which this question is about... the topics are related as many think withholding is the same as actual tax....

thanks mwcpa.. like i said, i just knew it was the same poster and both had to do with a bonus. beyond that, i didn't read.  however, I'm not sure that the OP ever saw your responses on the first one, so having the link here can't hurt. I sent a PM so she'd know where they are. |
