Are you a W-2 employee?  Employee bonuses are supposed to be included in the employee's W-2.  If your employer mistakenly reported it on a 1099-MISC, enter the 1099-MISC in the Other Common Income section of TT.  One of the follow-up questions in that section will ask about "uncommon situations."  One of the choices will be that your employer reported income on a 1099-MISC that should have been reported on a W-2.  Select that choice and proceed from there.
