Being able to twist any positive into a negative is an integral part of being an airline pilot

Same if you get a company paid life insurance policy.

thats the point. It won’t be listed as income. It will show as a reimbursed expense which is not taxable.

This will be my last post on the subject. The expense is not tax deductible. If you get reimbursed for a non deductible expense that reimbursement is taxable income no matter what Breeze is telling you. If it were this easy to shelter income from the IRS every company would be doing it.

It also does not matter if the company provides you the funds via a check, credit card, bubble gum futures or gold. It’s all income to the IRS.
