Brisa has not yet filed her $2022$ personal income tax returns. She is quite upset at how much money she will owe in taxes and is dreading to prepare them. As a lawyer, she worked extremely hard in $2022$ and on January $1,2023,$ she became a partner in the law firm where she worked. In $2022,$ she earned a gross annual salary of $$230,000,$ and as she was on the partner track, she also received a bonus in December $2022$ of $$35,000.$ As Brisa is in the top marginal tax bracket, how much of her bonus will she pay in taxes in $2022?$
