Starting early FT in IB--larger EOY bonus?

I am graduating early this year so If I elect to start at my BB/EB in January/February/whatever what would that mean in terms of my bonus? My bank pays out a stub in January so I would be potentially be able to double that amount? Or do you think I'd only get my W-2 wages and not a fatter bonus? Is this something that is even appropriate to ask HR (after I get my FT offer ofc)?
