    Returning Sign on Bonus - How does tax returns work?
    I am offered sign on bonus of 10000 USD.
    Restrictions: I get 30% if I stay 13 months with my employer.
    My Question: After taxes, I get around 7000K. If for some reason, I leave my employer before 13 months, I need to return all 10000, though I got only 7000 in hand.
    How do I go about rest of the 3000, which I paid in taxes? Is there any procedure to get my 3000 back on tax returns?

    The bonus IS taxable income, so you may not get it all back.

    The $3,000 withholding will be reflected on your W-2.
