Why are bonuses taxed more than your pay?

When you complete your 1040 federal income tax return completely and correctly the taxable amount of the bonus will be subject to the federal income at your marginal tax rate. hat your seeing in your check isn't really any greater tax on one than the other, they are both taxed the same when you complete your return, which is what the above is saying. BUT for withholding, the rate you are expected to pay at is done by annualizing the income being reported. Your bonus, when annualized, would probably indicate your in a much higher income tax bracket than your weekly pay does.
