Just an FYI. Bonuses are typically taxed at a higher bracket not because they have to (they are income just like everything else) but rather because accounting software gets confused by them. What happens is that it typically calculates your withohldings every month based on your pay and what it then calculates you’ll make for the entire year based off that one check. When you get a bonus, your check suddenly becomes a fatty and all of a sudden for that one period you get slammed into a much higher bracket. Fortunately you’ll get most of that back come tax time, unfortunately, that’s over a year away. You can do something about it though, the period before your bonus hits, refile your W4s with several extra exemptions, then switch it back after the bonus. This should help you get a more accurate tax taken out of your bonus. It shouldn’t be anywhere near %62 ---
