<prompt> Human: After my first year with my current company, I just received my first annual performance bonus, but I noticed that a much larger percent of taxes were taken out compared to my normal weekly paycheck. Heres the breakdown: Bonus Taxes incl. SS, Medicare, FIT, SIT Tax YTD Taxable Income :---::---::---::---: 12,174.85 4,340.33 35.65 74,217.83 And heres my last paycheck: Income less pretax withdrawals Taxes incl. SS, Medicare, FIT, SIT Tax YTD Taxable Income :---::---::---::---: 1,209.36 314.29 25.99 62,042.98 I included my YTD taxable because I thought perhaps I crossed a tax bracket threshold with my bonus and that would explain the higher rate.  <response>: No, but the withholding is often higher. Youll get the difference back in a refund or lower net total tax.
