Over the last few years the University of California has been subjected to various audits concerning compensation. Several taxable situations were not properly reported on employee W2 forms as the Accounting Office was not aware of certain (mostly exceptional) taxable benefits being provided to employees. In an effort to avoid future W2 reporting errors, your immediate attention is required. Please take a moment to review the attached list of potentially taxable conditions.

If any employees in your unit received (or will receive) the benefits outlined in the attached document for the period between December 1, 2015 and November 30, 2016, please complete the attached form (second tab of worksheet) and forward it via e-mail to the Director of Payroll, Gabe Nwandu (gabe.nwandu@ucr.edu), by November 18, 2016. A complete review of the payment/benefit will be conducted, the department and employee will be notified of the results of the review, and confirmed taxable situations will be reflected on the employee’s 2016 W2.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
