Employee Expenses:
Understanding the New Reimbursement Rules

Expense reimbursements are coming under the IRS microscope … are you easy pickings?

If you haven’t updated your employee expense reimbursement plan (and procedures) since the start of the pandemic, you’re inviting unnecessary scrutiny from the IRS and your employees.

Prime example: Employees working from home are incurring all sorts of new expenses. What can you reimburse tax-free? What paperwork do you legally need from employees? And how has the pandemic changed your legal reimbursement responsibilities for in-office, remote or hybrid workers?

Reimbursements are confusing, and a bad policy can be costly. The IRS sees your reimbursement mistakes as low-hanging fruit for its payroll auditors. And it’s not just the IRS. Your employees are looking closer at your policy, too. Recently, six nationwide employers had to pony up $22 million for unreimbursed business expenses and fines.

You need to get this right EVERY time. In this popular webinar recording, learn the most up-to-date rules and requirements for expense reimbursements. Discover how to spot the holes in your organization’s compliance BEFORE the IRS does!
