I'd be glad to share some information on how to record a bonus for your employee, @AssetAccounting.

You can pay your employees with bonuses along with their regular pay or through a separate paycheck.

If you choose to pay a bonus along with the employee’s regular pay, add the Bonus pay type before you run payroll. Here's how:

1. Select Payroll, then Employees.
2. Choose your employee.
3. From Pay types, click Start or Edit.
4. In the Common pay types section, select Bonus.
5. Choose Save.

If you choose to give the bonus through a separate check, skip to Step 3 in this article: Pay an employee bonus.

Additionally, I'll be sharing these articles to help manage your employee paycheck in QuickBooks: 

• Add overtime pay to an employee
• Enter paycheck totals for your W-2 employees

Feel at ease to comment below if you have further concerns with adding a bonus to show up in your employee's W2. I'll be around to help always. Keep safe!
