| Be prepared for that "lump sum" to have a big "lump tax" taken out of it. The paycheck can be viewed in some software systems as being what you would earn in a payperiod, and projected over the year. So that puts you in a much higher bracket for the one check. But you can get it back when you do your tax return. And here's a place to read about Unemployment Payments. Check your state's website, too. Good luck!! -- Marie |
