Employee Expense Reimbursement Under TC&JA: What's Allowable Now

Price: $ + applicable taxes

Now’s the time to update your employee expense reimbursement plans if you haven’t already, given significant changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new rules disallow tax deductions for some commonly reimbursed business expenses.

Employee expense reimbursements that aren't handled accurately can wind up being disallowed as expenses, or even considered as compensation by the IRS. If this happens, your company is on the hook for paying the associated payroll taxes - costing you more money as well as any penalties!
