Employers often give travel advances, reimburse business expenses or let employees use company property. Unless reimbursements are made under an accountable plan, they must be treated as wages, and expense reimbursement is a target of an IRS audit initiative. This 90-minute employee expense reimbursement webinar explains how to get it right.
You'll learn the Internal Revenue Code rules on business expenses, accountable versus non-accountable plans, and the substantiation needed to exclude reimbursements or benefits from wages. The session covers per diem payments, including maximum rates and the high-low method, and how to control per diem abuse.
It also covers personal use of vehicles and phones, travel advances, payment cards and payroll and AP controls.
Accountable plans save taxes for employers and employees, but weak documentation or procedures can turn reimbursements into wages, with extra tax, possible penalties and liability for taxes not withheld. This session shows how to account for and report reimbursements and employee benefits in line with IRS requirements.
It suits payroll and AP staff, accountants, auditors, tax compliance officers, enrolled agents, benefits administrators, business owners and public agency managers.
