3 Agenda What Prompted this Topic? Why worry -- we re tax exempt! Advance Preparation for an Audit Facilitation of an Audit Other Tax Issues to Consider 3
4 Tax Quote I am proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is I could be just as proud for half the money. Arthur Godfrey, entertainer 4
5 What Prompted this Topic? Why worry -- we re Tax Exempt! 5
6 What prompted this topic? Two Stubborn Issues Arose: Payments to human subjects Personal use of cell phones 6
7 Payments to Human Subjects: Concerns Payments to employees Payments to non-us citizens Filing 1099s HIPAA compliance 7
8 Payments to Human Subjects: Options Considered Gift Cards: Prohibited by GIT Financial Policy. Setting de minimis levels for reporting: IRS doesn t officially condone. Multiple payments from different studies could aggregate to total in excess of de minimis threshold. Completing tracking sheets to route through payroll for compliance reviews: Slow, inaccurate Could hinder research pools HIPAA violation? 8
9 Payments for Campus Cell Phones Concerns Current IRS focus on employer-provided d cell phones/wireless devices: Performing reviews as part of larger scope audits. Classifying value of devices and reimbursement of personal use as non-cash compensation. Current GIT practice/policy might not properly address IRS concerns. Use of different types of devices on campus. 9
10 Payments for Campus Cell Phones: Options Considered Require personal ownership of all communications devices. Exception: single function pagers. No longer pay monthly service costs. Stipend has tax implications on individual employees. Establish device purchase limits eligible for reimbursement Three tiered, fixed amount (2 way radios/cell phones/web enabled devices). Grounds crews/campus security might not have adequate credit to obtain required devices. Monthly reimbursement or stipend to cover costs. Allow employee to submit 3 consecutive months bills for review for consideration of increasing monthly reimbursement or stipend. 10
11 Parting thoughts on two stubborn issues No easy answers. Several things to consider and many of them may be unique to your own campus. The best thing to do is to recognize the issues, address them as best possible, and be prepared to discuss your positions with tax authorities and other regulators. Be prepared -- keep written documentation of what you did and why. 11
