Ultimately, however, the package will be “reconciled after the fact” with a person’s 2020 earnings, meaning if you earn more or less this year, you stand to either pay back some of the bonus or get a bigger rebate next year.
So it is taxable is what I'm getting out of that. Based on that I don't know that I want it. I already owe for 2019 & was going to use this to help payoff that. So I use it to pay past taxes & then get hit again when I file for 2020.
I originally thought this to be a straight "Here ya go - have fun & don't spend it all n one place" kinda thing. Not something that comes with strings attached.
