Comparing the Two Options for Determining the Gas
Portion to W2 for Personal Use of Business Vehicles |
When an employee uses a company vehicle for personal use, the
company must add the value of the personal use of the vehicle to the employee's
W2 at the end of the year.
The value of personal use has two components:
1. The value of the vehicle from the Annual Lease Value Table.
2. The value of the gas used.
There are two options for computing the value of
the gasoline:
1. Proration of the actual cost of gas.
2. 5.5 cents per mile.
This calculator calculates the amount that will be added to an employee's W2 for
the gas portion of the personal use of a company-owned vehicle, using the two
methods mentioned above. Depending on the cost of gas, and the average
miles per gallon, you may be surprised how much you can reduce the amount to be
W2'd by using the 5.5 cents per mile method. Remember that you must also
add the amount from the Annual Lease Value Table. |
