Learning Objective

  • Define the various statutory fringe benefits.
  • Discuss the incidental fringe benefits.
  • Analyze and review the fringe benefits.
  • Explore the special requirements, if any, applicable to small businesses when adopting a fringe benefit.
  • Present the reporting requirements for the fringe benefits.

Course Overview

Cash payments to employees, whether salary, bonus, or commission, are generally straightforward. Salary is typically calculated per hour, month, or year.

In this CE course, we will explore how these payments have broader financial implications—triggering a business deduction for the employer, generating taxable income for the employee, and contributing revenue to the Treasury. Alongside federal, state, and local income taxes, employers and employees bear the burden of employment taxes like FICA, FUTA, and SUTA.

Generally, Fringe benefits may be statutory (i.e., a code section designation) or incidental (i.e., listed within a code section as a group). Some benefits are excludable, others are partially includable, and others are deferred (i.e., retirement benefits).

Key topics covered:

  • Financial impact of salary payments
  • Overview of employment taxes
  • Fringe benefits and tax implications
  • Statutory vs. incidental benefits
  • Challenges for small businesses

Join this CE Course, it will discuss many of these fringe benefits, illustrate their benefits, discuss the challenges of small businesses adopting these benefits, and discuss their reporting.
