Are You Missing Business Deductions? How an Accountable Plan Works
Paying legitimate company expenses from a personal account may cause valuable business expenses to remain outside the company’s records.
Depending on the business structure and circumstances, an accountable plan may allow the company to reimburse qualifying expenses without treating the reimbursement as additional taxable wages.
However, an accountable plan must exist in more than name. The business structure, nature of the expenses, reimbursement process, and supporting records must work together.
In this video, Lisa Marie Odeja explains how accountable plans work at a high level, why documentation is essential, and how properly supported reimbursements can become part of a proactive and defensible tax strategy.
