What are taxable wages on a pay stub?

Taxable wages on a pay stub are any salaries that are paid to an employee that legally must have taxes withheld. These include things such as bonuses, regular pay, and overtime pay.

There are also non-taxable wages that are not subject to tax withholding. Expense reimbursements and mileage reimbursements are examples of non-taxable wages, and they should not have any income taxes withheld from them.
