Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefits Aren’t Tax Deductible |
-
Internal Revenue Code sections 274(a)(4) and 274(l) provide that no tax deduction is allowed for qualified transportation fringe benefits (whether provided directly by the employer, through a bona fide reimbursement arrangement, or through a compensation reduction agreement) incurred or paid after 2017. Also, no deduction is allowed for any expense incurred for providing any transportation, or any payment or reimbursement to an employee, in connection with travel between the employee's residence and place of employment, except as necessary for ensuring the safety of the employee or for qualified bicycle commuting reimbursements, as described in section 132(f)(5)(F) (even though Section 11047 of P.L. 115-97 suspended the exclusion of qualified bicycle commuting reimbursements from the employee's income for any tax year beginning after 2017 and before 2026.)
While employers may no longer deduct payments for qualified transportation fringe benefits, the fringe benefit exclusion rules still apply and the payments may be excluded from an employee's wages up to $300 per month for a transit pass, qualified parking or a ride in a commuter highway vehicle (e.g., vanpool).
