  When you create the paycheck, you enter the bonus amount and it's included and taxed with the rest of the regular paycheck amount.
  
• If you pay a bonus separate from a regular paycheck, you can determine how it's calculated, how it's taxed, and whether or not to include retirement or HSA deductions.
