From Investopedia:
"The way the bonus is taxed depends on your income tax bracket. Let's say your income is $47,500, and you earn $500 in bank bonuses, bringing your total taxable income to $48,000. The following tax brackets would apply: 10% on the first $11,600, 12% on the next $35,550, 22% on the remaining $850"
The sign up bonus is essentially counted as income and affects your tax bracket. If you make $1000 per year and you get a $500 sign up bonus. It will make your income equal $1500 for that year. That $500 will then be taxed according to that tax bracket which is 10%. So you will get $450 after taxes. If you make $578,125 and you get a $500 sign up bonus, it will your income for that year equal to $578,525. This means that the $500 will be taxed at that tax bracket which is 37% leaving you with $315. If you make $577,875 and you get the $500 sign up bonus. It will make your income for that year $578,375. This means that $250 below will be taxed at 35% and the $250 above ($578,126) will get taxed at 37%.
Essentially the sign up bonus you get will be taxed according to the tax bracket you are already in. However if it puts you over into another tax bracket, then it will be taxed by two different tax rates.
Moreover, it will also get taxed by the state. For example the bottom tax bracket in Maryland is 2%. So if you make $1000 per year and get a $500 sign up bonus, that $500 will get taxed 10% ($50) by the government, and 2% ($10) by the state. So you will get $440.
The bank will send you a 1099-Miscellaneous form to fill out and you will have to declare the sign up bonus on your taxes. (I am not a tax professional, however I believe what I said is correct.)
Opened account on 9/17.
Funded account $2500 on 9/18.
Received bank card 9/24
Patiently waiting for the $500 bonus to hit to close the account.
I'm talking when you add in all taxes, fees and costs to government be it state or federal and adding in the regulatory burden. Just the regulatory burden is estimated to be $15,000 per household. Just the real estate tax in my state takes a very large chunk of my earnings every year. In a very real way the cost of government has made home ownership impossible for most wage earners and they just keep wanting more. Inflation is also a way of taxing in economic theory.

I inquired about my bonus (note that it says the bonus should be credited within 90 days of meeting requirements). If they tell me there is a location requirement that I didn't meet, I plan to offer to email the archived webpage and a BBB complaint if they don't comply.
