<prompt> Human: Hi there personalfinance,My wife is receiving a work bonus of 480 as a bank teller. The manager stated the tax rate is 40 on that bonus because its labeled as a gift, leaving the bonus at 288. Is this right? I always assumed bonuses were supplemental and used the 20 or 25 scheme.Thanks for any insight!  <response>: The withholding is that high. At tax time you will be taxed appropriately and get that percentage back.
