if your employer is not reporting it as a bonus, I wouldn't
Uh, I'm pretty sure they aren't reporting it as *anything.* Even our end-of-year bonuses aren't included on our W-2s.
Like I said, shifty.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

I have cinnamon apple tea. It's oddly like pastry in tea form. I think I'll go back to mint next time.

do you agree with my father that there is no way to get one's children adequately schooled in the Cincinnati public school system? He insists it's private/parochial, suburbs, or death.
People with this attitude drive me crazy. It's rampant in NYC and, as someone who has taught plenty of people coming out of NYC public high schools, it's bullsh*t. But as Steph says, you have to do your homework wherever you are.

I'm with Rick- I work as a freelancer in the theatre department, but my appointment is in another department. It is categorized as "extra compensation" and reported on my W-2. On of the "rules" we have hear is that it can't be just more of your regular work, though. That is, if you are a secretary, you can't get extra comp for being a secretary in another department.

Uh, yeah. Definitely NOT reported on my W-2. When Big!Boss proposed the idea, his wife (who takes care of all the [shifty] accounting) told us, "You'll need to take care of the taxes yourselves." But they don't issue 1099s for it. Ever.

And well, it's *exactly* more of my regular work.
Fuckity. I just don't want the IRS to nail me for tax evasion.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fuckity. I just don't want the IRS to nail me for tax evasion.
Don't they have a form for "Income I was paid where my employer failed to give me a W-2 or 1099"?
In any event, as long as you do what the IRS says for this situation, it's not your problem.

Uh, I don't know WHAT the IRS says for this situation. Probably b/c it's so. fucking. shifty.

Apparently so. It looks like a pain in the ass, though. Among other things, you have to explain what you did to obtain a W-2.
