Pre-Tax 通勤的好处 for 菠菜网lol正规平台 Employees

Administered by 菠菜网lol正规平台 停车 服务s, the pre-tax 通勤的好处 Program allows eligible 菠菜网lol正规平台 employees to defer up to $300 (effective 2023) per month tax-free for the purchase of transit passes. 

Once enrolled, deductions are taken from your pay before Federal, State, Social Security, and Medicare taxes are calculated. Your taxable income is reduced, thereby reducing the taxable income reflected on your annual W-2 statement.
