sign-on bounus payout

[The Little Greek]

Has anyone recently received one of the big sign-o bonuses? If so, do you mind sharing how much was left after taxes....percentage is fine if you don't want to share a number. I just want to plan for how much I will actually receive. Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

On a related subject, I am completing my packet for the Army Nursing Corps Reserves and was wondering if anyone has taken advantage of the Healthcare Professional Loan Repayment Program. (20k, 20k, 10k over 3 years...)?

Is that taxed before they write the check to my creditor, or is it 20k tax free?

Thanks

That's a really good question. I'm applying for loan repayment upon entry and I'd love to know the answer too. I'm also wondering, does the gov't just make the monthly payments, or do they simply write a check to the loan company and pay the loan outright? I had a friend at school that entered the navy after graduation and she said they would pay the loan outright and that it wasn't taxed. Not sure if that's true though...
