Reimbursing Moving Expenses

The summer months often bring an increase in job-related relocations. To attract new employees or retain top talent, employers can reimburse some moving expenses on a tax-free basis.

The Employment Law Manual section on Taxation of Employee Compensation explains all the tax rules employers need to follow to ensure that such reimbursements qualify as nontaxable fringe benefits. And our FAQs target employers' most pressing questions about moving expense reimbursements.

Should an employer's moving expense reimbursements fail to qualify for tax-free status, How To Withhold on Supplemental Wages Using the Optional Flat Rate Method, How To Withhold on Supplemental Wages Using the Aggregate Method and How to Withhold on Supplemental Wages Over $1 Million explain the various withholding methods to use to ensure that the proper amount of tax is withheld from the reimbursements.
