Due to hybrid and remote work environments, many companies are rethinking their employee reimbursement policies.  Therefore, it is imperative for practitioners to know which expenses are reimbursable, the impact of these expenses on the W-2, and proper substantiation requirements.  Using easy to follow examples and discussion, this course will explore these topics as well as which fringe benefits need to be added back into the W-2 – and which do not.  We will also identify some best practices as well, so that you will be well prepared for the next client question that comes your way.
