Imputed Income

Couples in domestic partnerships are generally ineligible for the federal benefits provided to spouses. Employers are obligated to report and withhold taxes on the fair market value (FMV) of a domestic partner’s health coverage to the extent the coverage is paid for by the employer. FMV is usually determined by calculating the difference between the cost of employee and employee-plus one or more. The amount paid by the employee on an after-tax basis for the coverage is subtracted from the FMV to determine the taxable amount.
