Overview:
Companies are offering more fringe benefits than ever before to attract and retain top talent, reduce costs, and boost employee morale. However, the IRS continues to increase scrutiny on the taxation of fringe benefits, making compliance more complex. With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) of 2025, new rules have been introduced that directly impact employer-provided benefits—particularly in the areas of transportation, relocation/moving expenses, and executive perks.
This webinar will review the core IRS requirements for non-taxable fringe benefits, explain how to properly determine taxation, and highlight the latest OBBBA updates that employers must integrate into payroll and compliance practices. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to evaluate, report, and manage fringe benefits under the new regulatory landscape.
