Tax Cuts and Jobs Act gives ― and takes away

Description

Abstract: While early drafts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) proposed significant changes to qualified retirement plans, the version that passed has minimal impact on them. However, the TCJA did make some notable adjustments to the tax treatment of other types of employee compensation and benefits, for both employers and employees. Here’s a closer look at how corporate compensation and family and medical leave tax incentives are affected. A short sidebar discusses the TCJA’s impact on employee achievement awards, moving expenses and transportation fringe benefits.
