Procedure for employers to deal with retroactive increase in excludible transit benefits

In a Notice, IRS has provided guidance on how employers should handle the retroactive 2014 increase by the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 (TIPA, P.L. 113-295), in the monthly exclusion for employer-provided transit and vanpooling benefits under Code Sec. 132(f)(2)(A), from $130 to $250. IRS clarifies how the increase applies for 2014 and provides a special administrative procedure for employers to use in: (a) filing Form 941 (Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return) for the fourth quarter of 2014 to reflect changes in the excludable amount for transit benefits provided in all quarters of 2014; and (b) filing Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement).
