The company gives you ten skittles as a bonus but the government initially takes 4 of them for taxes but your true taxes were only 2 skittles so you get 2 skittles back when you file your taxes.

funny

Adding to SC1, if you don’t want them to take 4 skittles initially you can adjust your withholding profile (exemptions) so the automatic system doesn’t calculate the withholding of 4

Good point. That makes sense

Look at your taxes for for the whole years and don’t worry about bonus vs regular comp. you may want to adjust withholding if the bonus withholding rate is significantly different than your normal withholding rate.

It boils down to the bonus is usually withheld at 22 percent. Your regular earnings are withheld at a rate based on your W4. At the end of the year they will be taxed at the same rate. The bonus could cause you to be over or under withheld.

I’m pretty sure I do like 0 or 1 withholdings, should I change that before my bonus? I understand the govt takes taxes and I eventually get them back but

You should have at least 1

anyone at EY know how to change this? I cant find or figure it out lol

Go to your paystub on better you. Somewhere on that page is a link to withholding or W4

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay.

For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?
