Description:

If employee expense reimbursements do not meet IRS guidelines, they may be disallowed as expenses and considered compensation to those employees, leaving you responsible for the associated payroll taxes and any penalties.
Reimbursements of employee business expenses made under accountable plans can be excluded from an employee's gross income; do you know the fundamentals of how an accountable plan works? Do you provide a per diem to your employees and are you aware of the accounting issues associated with the use of per diems? Are your employees given an advance prior to traveling?
If you make a mistake – however inadvertent - on any of these, there are employment tax consequences if you don’t meet the IRS expense reimbursement requirements. The expense may then become a wage to the employee, subject to all payroll taxes.
Learning Objectives:
This course will uncover all of the rules and requirements for expense reimbursements as well as discuss best practices for processing expense reimbursements either in payroll or accounts payable.- We will discuss the accountable plan rules and how they apply to employee travel and expense reimbursements
- Per diems and advance accounting will be discussed, determining when they are best used, how to account for them, and when they become compensation versus an allowable business expense
- We will address the payroll best practices around how often you process employee expense reimbursements, whether or not they are run through payroll or accounts payable, and how to make sure you are aware of payments being made to your employees that may be subject to payroll taxes

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
