titleWhy are my taxes so high this month?

Your gross pay is larger than usual. Increases in gross pay can be because of: 

  • A large taxable reimbursement
  • Back pay paid 
  • A bonus

Example: Large Taxable Reimbursement

Your Payroll Options

Request an Optional Payroll Bonus for Taxable Reimbursement Expenses

  • Designed to help offset taxes you're paying on the paycheck due to the reimbursement, in hopes of making your paycheck closer to the "normal" amount you receive  
  • The optional 20% bonus is added to your paycheck. (It's not paid to you when the reimbursement is paid.)
  • It helps with taxes, but the bonus is also taxed. 
  • The bonus comes from the MTD account you are responsible for.
  • When completing your reimbursement form, you will be asked if you would like to receive the taxable reimbursement bonus.

Request fewer taxes withheld.

If you expect a large paycheck, you can request that fewer taxes be withheld by emailing payroll@reliant.org. See Taxes and W-2s for more information.
