Question

My bonus did not show up on my w-2, so I entered it as miscellaneous income. However, I already paid taxes on it. How do I enter those taxes that I paid?

It was an recruitment incentive bonus, not related to job performance, I think that's why it wasn't on my W-2

Why do you think it was not included on your W-2? All of your income is in box 1, and all of the federal tax withheld is in box 2. Did you talk to the employer and ask if they included it there? There is no "special" place on your W-2 to show a bonus.
