BUSINESS AND SUPPORT SERVICES
TAXATION OF GIFTS, PRIZES, AND AWARDS TO EMPLOYEES

过程

税收程序

皇冠博彩 adheres to rules and regulations of the IRS to treat gifts, prizes, and awards to employees as compensation and to tax them accordingly. The college supports the recognition of outstanding employee contributions through the use of gifts, prizes and awards. However, all payments made from college funds, or items of value given to employees, are considered compensation subject to federal, state and employment tax withholding, and will be reported on Form W-2 unless a specific exemption applies. Any question concerning the taxability of a gift, prize or award should be discussed with the Comptroller and/or the Payroll Manager prior to processing the transaction.

These procedures provide guidance regarding the tax implications of gifts, prizes and awards made to employees so that: 1) proper communication is given to the employee at the time of receipt; and 2) the college is in compliance with federal and state tax laws and regulations.

礼品、奖品和奖励的课税可归纳为以下三类。 Departments may not use the Procurement Card to purchase gifts, prizes or awards since reporting to the individual recipient is required. See Procurement Card Policy for more detail.

现金及现金等价物

Cash gifts, prizes or awards, including gift certificates and gift cards (cash equivalents), are considered supplemental wages and are always reportable as taxable compensation, regardless of the dollar amount and beginning with the first dollar. 礼物s, prizes or awards of cash and cash equivalents must be processed through Payroll Services and are subject to federal, state and employment tax withholding. The gift, prize or award must also be included in the employee’s year-end Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.

价值100美元或以下的非现金

A gift, prize or award may be considered a 微量允许 fringe benefit and not taxable compensation to the employee if: 1) it is a 非现金 gift of property such as food, flowers, clothing, etc.; 2) it is valued at $100 or less; and 3) it is given only on an 偶尔的基础.

价值100美元或以上的非现金

A 非现金 gift, prize or award valued at more than $100 is taxable beginning with the first dollar and must be processed through Payroll Services. Such gifts, prizes and awards are reportable as taxable compensation to the employee, subject to appropriate federal, state and employment tax withholding, and must be included in the employee’s year-end Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement.

员工成就奖

关于员工成就奖的通则有例外。 Special rules apply to 非现金 awards based on an employee’s safety achievement or length of service with the college. A safety or length of service award may be excluded from the employee’s income, if specific criteria are met pertaining to the form and timing of the award, its dollar value, and its method of presentation. Departments or schools considering such awards should consult the Comptroller and/or the Payroll Manager prior to making such awards.
