Guest talisa Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hi, I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me how to calculate the portion of the domestic partner benefit that should be included as taxable earnings. Is it the portion of the benefit that the company pays for? What part of the actual deduction can not be pre tax? I appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

david rigby Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Maybe I'm the only reader with this problem, but what are you talking about? I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Moreland Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 I've advised clients on this, and the answer depends on the facts. I recommend that you hire a local employee benefits lawyer. You are unlikely to get a correct answer from a bulletin board where the answer depends on complex facts and on state income tax law.

GBurns Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 Please enlighten us. I also would like to know what you are talking about. What type of benefit? What state income tax law?

Sandra Pearce Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Employer provided health care benefits for spouses and dependents of employees are allowed by IRS to be excluded from the employee's gross income. No such exclusion exists for benefits given to an employee for his domestic partner. The money paid by an employer for health care benefits for the employee's DP is income that is taxable.

GBurns Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Why would you assume that the question pertains to health benefits? George D.

Sandra Pearce Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Just my interpretation of the question. Only Talisa knows the answer for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
