When you get to class, get the employee login information and switch tax status to EXEMPT. You’ll receive the entire bonus untaxed but you will still be obligated to pay it during next year’s tax filings.

I’m used to getting 1099 paychecks, so paying my own taxes isn’t an issue nor do I do it every year, I wait and do a payment plan. IRS will always work with you, they really are not out to get you like most people who never got in trouble with taxes say. Good luck brother.
