I got paid 5,000 dollar bonus this year and they taxed 1,300 out of it, does bonuses show up on w-2's? I don't think it did on mine! Can I get any of that money back?

Yes, you must report the income and tax withheld. Employer must report it on some Form.

You may wish to ask, to be sure
1. it is there and you are incorrect
2. there will be a separate W2 issued for bones.

This is a military bonus so is that the same and I'm a 100 percent that it isn't showing up on my w-2

Eddie:

Compare the final figure in Box #1 with your pay as specified by the pay table for your rank and time in service.

I think you will find that the bonus has been added to your Box #1 salary.
