Why should you attend?

Employee expense reimbursements are subject to IRS guidelines for records they want us to keep. If not handled correctly and reimbursements do not meet IRS guidelines, expenses may be disallowed as a deduction and considered compensation to those employees, leaving the employer responsible for the associated payroll taxes– plus any penalties.
Taxable and nontaxable fringe benefit are scattered throughout the Internal Revenue Code. Benefits can be hidden in Sec 274, 162, 119, 132, 127, and 82. Add in numerous Announcements, Notices and Regulations and we have a complex set of rules to follow.
