What is the name of your state? Virginia
My wife was given an almost $5,000 incentive bonus last year when she started a new job at a local law firm. This bonus was for starting the job earlier than she had previously agreed to. It doesnt show on her W-2, instead they sent a 1099-misc form with it listed under non-employee compensation.No tax or other withholdings were taken out of the money. Shouldn't it be included on her W-2 instead of the 1099-misc?
How do we show this on our federal tax return ? Won't we end up paying more tax on it if we show it as self-employment income ?
Thanks in advance
