Re: Taxes on performance bonuses

I'm still getting up to speed with all this. I got my first bonus in Jan and the tax withheld on it was 40%. It sounds like i may get some back though when it comes to claiming tax back.

It’s funny reading all the threads from people trying to move to the US. Obviously some people really want to live and work in the US.
