Description:

Fringe benefits are typically offered by management as a nice way to provide incentives to employees. Whether offered as a reward for good performance or an incentive to achieve sales goals, Some fringe benefits are taxable, while others need not be reported or taxed below certain values. Do you know which ones are which?
While this may sound melodramatic, it’s no laughing matter if you improperly reported - even by mistake - fringe benefits. And unfortunately, employment tax audits of fringe benefits have increased both from the federal and state sides.
Learning Objectives:
This audio conference will help you to determine if your fringe benefits are currently being offered to employees correctly. That is, to insure that they are compliant with federal and state payroll tax regulations that may assist you in avoiding a costly audit in the future.
We’ll cover the IRS guidelines for the items that they will focus on when an employment tax audit is being performed, as well as tips on how to perform your own internal review to catch anything that may actually cause an audit. - Which fringe benefits are excludable?
- What record keeping is necessary to document these benefits?
- How do you compute the value of a ‘good’ or a ‘service’? And how do you handle the payroll tax consequences for those items considered taxable
- Which benefits provided to employees are taxable and how these are reported for payroll purposes
- How to calculate your exposure if you have some items that should have been considered wages subject to payroll taxation

| 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. |
