Taxing and Reporting Fringe Benefits

Duration: 90 minutes

Recorded on June 29, 2016 at 1pm ET

The IRS just doesn’t make your job easy. They set strict requirements for reporting and taxing fringe benefits … but they don’t provide clear guidance on valuation rules or what’s considered taxable income and what’s not.

The questions are many: When is something de minimis and when it is not? Above what amount are certain fringe benefits taxable and reportable? What recordkeeping is a must … and on which form, in which box, and with what code do you need to report fringe benefits?

To make matters worse, the IRS is getting more and more persnickety about consistency of treatment, documentation and retention. Auditors are more likely than ever to dig deep to find mistakes in your organization’s handling of fringe benefits. There’s simply no room for error.

That’s why we invite you and your team to join payroll expert Vicki M. Lambert, CPP to learn what you must know to properly tax and account for fringe benefits.
