What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello! I've gotten some very good advice and information from this site for personal stuff, and recently a question has come up at work that I thought I would pose here as well.
So I work in the accounts payable department for a company in California that has very close ties to a state agency (our company was created from the agency, but is a private entity; don't ask me what the actual logistics of the relationship is, I just know that I work with a lot of State employees).
Anyway, the issue is this: we are trying to get our Accounting department IRS compliant, by determining the taxability (sp?) of certain "fringe benefits" (i.e. cell phone, laptop, etc.). Obviously, since our company hasn't been worried about that in the past, employees aren't going to be too keen on these having withholdings taken all of a sudden, so I'm hoping someone has some advice on the best way of handling this. My boss has asked each of us to ask someone that maybe has a company cell phone to see how their company handles it, just to get some ideas as to a game plan. Since I don't really know anyone in that catagory, I thought I'd ask here!
Anyway, I appreciate any info that is offered.
