Federal Income Tax Withholding.
Federal Withholding Tax
To calculate and implement federal withholding in payroll processing, you need to use the employee's W-4 form to determine their filing status and allowances. Then, refer to the IRS withholding tables to find the appropriate amount to withhold based on the employee's wages and allowances. This amount is deducted from the employee's paycheck and sent to the IRS on their behalf. It's important to stay updated on any changes to tax laws and regulations to ensure accurate withholding.
Check with your employer payroll department about this matter.

The Percentage Method subtracts from the total wage payment an allowance amount. The allowance amount is based on the value of one withholding allowance for the payroll period multiplied by the total withholding allowances from Form W-4.For a weekly payroll period with two withholding allowances, the percentage computation figure is $140.38($70.19 x 2).For a biweekly payroll period with 2 allowances, the percentage figure is $280.76 ($140.38 x 2).The Percentage Method Amount for One Withholding Allowance Table gives withholding allowance figures for every payroll period (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually, daily).For more information, go to www.irs.gov for Publication 15-T (New Wage Withholding and Advance Earned Income Credit Payment Tables).
Yes, if your wife works for you there will be no taxes or payroll or federal taxes or state withholding that you will have to worry about as a small business.
Employee bonuses absolutely can be included in a normal weekly payroll check... the problem is that since most software programs calculate federal withholding on an annulaized basis, they will interpret the large gross (the total amount you got paid for the week) as though your normal pay is higher (ie you got a raise) and will then take out more federal withholding taxes (and state taxes depending on what state you live in).
Yep. Either that or the Farmworkers Health Study is running a hell of a racket.
