    Army sign-on bonus
    Hello,
    I am a US Soldier trying to file taxes. Last year I got a sign-on bonus of 10k, and they taxed 2500 out of that. This isn't on my W-2, and I never got a 1099 (or anything else). How do I report this, and will I get any of that 2500 back?

    Are you SURE the bonus in not on the W-2? That kind of information is almost always on the W-2.

    Of course, if you were in the war zone in SWA, the bonus money may be tax-exempt.
