This training program will engage attendees in a discussion on whether an expense reimbursement qualifies for exclusion from employee wages. It will offer stringent guidelines on what is required to substantiate various expenses and benefits under an account plan.
Employers often provide travel advances, business expense reimbursement, or use of company property to employees. Employee expense reimbursement is one of the targets of a current IRS audit initiative. Unless expense reimbursements are made under an account plan, the payments must be included in employee wages. Accountable expense reimbursement plans provide tax savings for both employers and employees. But insufficient documentation or faulty procedures can result in reclassification of the reimbursements as wages. This results in additional tax and possibly penalties. An employer may even become liable for taxes it failed to withhold from the employee reimbursement.
In this informative webinar, attendees will learn how to properly account for and report expense reimbursements and facilities provided to employees in compliance with IRS requirements.
