Signing bonus - Nothing deducted from taxes

I recently received my signing bonus and noticed that it did not have anything deducted for taxes. I thought that bonuses were taxed very heavily (~40% or so) so will I just have to pay that tax when income tax time comes around? I also get some relocation assistance in the form of a check (not reimbursement), does anyone know how that will be taxed?

Thanks

love.live.lifeThe bonus comes in the full amount now, but it's going to be taxed on your paychecks when you start FT.
Yeah its split up and deducted from your remainder of checks for that year.
You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
