My employer pays a bonus every year and every year it does not show up on my w2. It is like it never existed. However I paid a butt load of taxes and I want credit for it. What can I do? Received over $13k and paid like 40% taxes and I want it shown on my taxes. Help

40% taxes? Seems a bit much for withholding.

Could it be that the bonus is reported using a separate 1099 instead of in your W2? Otherwise it seems like... well, fraud.

Find out from your employer how they are reporting the bonus payment.

If it is not on your W2, you can still report it,

Not only CAN you report it, legally you MUST report it. A bonus is earned income, and really should be on the W-2.
