Taxes question. Got a 10k signing bonus, only got about 6k after taxes. Will I get any of that back next year when I do my taxes? If so how much should I expect?

Depends on your tax bracket.

like

I'd say you're unlikely to get any back - you aren't pulling down enough to max out FICA, so the withholding of FICA, FUTA, Medicare Part A and Federal Income Tax should come to roughly 40% all in. They withheld it at the rate determined by your regular salary and W4 config. Welcome to adulthood.

Yes. Expect around 1-2k

D1 is right. If you got taxed at 40% for the bonus, and you should've only been taxed at 25% (based on your income), that would be ~1.5k. But since you're starting late in the year (assuming this is your first job and just started), you're only making ~40k this tax year. That should mean a lower tax bracket.

like

The answer is that nobody here knows the rest of your tax information so it is impossible to say, congrats on the bonus though

like

@d7, that's related to withholding not how much tax is actually paid which is a function of your marginal tax rate before you receive said bonus.

I started out in high net worth tax (fuck young me for being an idiot). This is a pretty common misconception, right along with people thinking making enough to put them in a higher bracket nets them less money as if all income is taxed at the same rate.

I pull in 80k so I'm not way up in the tax brackets, at least I don't think.

Probably. Bonuses are not taxed any differently. It's all just income.

I came from another firm though, brought on as an Exp hire.

Lol you'll likely never see it again

@D3, bonuses are taxed differently

@D7, that's simply not true

Turbotax is shady at, trying to pretend shit is complicated so people don't file their own faces with 1 w-2 and a brokerage statement

For the flat tax rate, the employee must pay 25 percent of the bonus to the federal government and then an additional flat tax rate to the state

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

This has probably been asked many times in this bowl - what’s the best hotel rewards program? I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and I’m a Southwest RR member. I travel maybe 25-30% of the time

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
