"Answer Your Cellphone. The Taxman Is Calling."
A recent tough stance by the Internal Revenue Service on
employees' use of cellphones is forcing some colleges to rethink
whether and under what conditions they should continue to provide
the devices to administrators and staff members. The federal tax
agency has been reminding employers that cellphones they provide
employees should be treated as taxable income, unless employees
can document that their phones are used only for business. Of
course most employees who get cellphones from their employers,
including those at colleges, use them a lot for personal calls.
So Ohio State University, among others, has decided to treat
cellphones as an employee benefit and report the cellphones as
income on employees' W-2 forms. Oakland University is providing
its employees with a cellphone stipend ranging from $45 to $90 a
month. Baylor University is giving employees the option of
accepting the cellphone as an employee benefit or otherwise
signing a statement that says they use the cellphone only for
business.
