Guest maya24 Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 When a participant buys contact lenses online or via telephone, is the shipping and handling charges reimbursable? Thanks
Guest JerseyGirl Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Absent any clear guidance from the IRS, I would say as long as the shipping charges are not unreasonably high, they should be allowed. Most of the time the participant is saving a substantial enough amount money going the mail-order route on prescriptions or contacts to more than justify the small additional cost of shipping.
SLuskin Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Latest publication 502 says that shipping is tax deductible, as it is part of the expense. Also, latest EBIA bulletin says it's ok to reimburse in medical FSA.
