Taxes (unpopular post I'm sure!)

Hi all -
This has been very informative, and I thank you all for your insights, information and scuttlebutt. I have a question, esp. aimed towards any cpas or tax lawyers out there. Is bonus income taxed as capital gains or straight income? There is a huge difference, of course. I believe we will receive a 1099 from the company, but I'm not sure. I have not received a 1099 from a company before, but this bonus is much larger than anything we've had in the past :-)
Thanks for any info and enjoy the Fourth -

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
