titleTreasury Regulation § 1.62-2

Treasury Regulation § 1.62-2 (which governs Accountable Plans).

An employer can only issue a tax-free per diem under an Accountable Plan. Under IRS rules, an Accountable Plan only applies to employees.

  • If a non-employee receives an allowance (like a per diem) to travel, it cannot legally be processed through the organization's Accountable Plan.
  • Therefore, the IRS requires the organization to report that money on a Form 1099 (if paid directly to the spouse) or a Form W-2 (if paid to you as a benefit).

In the Ministry Purpose, please list a detailed explanation of their participation in the ministry activity related to the expense. This will automatically show up in the taxable ERB column.

You must request an exception for your reimbursement in the "Totals" section. This notifies the Reimbursement team to review the submission and change the expense from an ERB to a normal Reimbursement.
