Bonuses in Texas
With no state income tax there is no state supplemental rate, so a bonus in Texas is withheld at the federal 22% flat rate plus FICA only. A bonus is ordinary income however it is withheld, so the final tax is settled on your return. The bonus tax calculator shows both methods side by side.
