Tax rate on bonus way too high

mk76 · ‎May 09, 2022

Hello. I just started paying myself a monthly salary and wanted to add a one-time bonus cheque, separate from the monthly payroll. The preview shows an employee tax that's a whopping 46.41%, which is much higher than the rate on my monthly pay. My only guess is that QBO thinks I'll be giving myself this bonus amount every month so it's knocked me up to a much higher CRA tax bracket. Other than that I really don't have a clue.

Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks. I've tried support a couple times already and they didn't offer a solution. I will try my luck here in the forums for now.
