    Employer paid fitness club benefits

    If an employer pays the employees membership fees to a fitness club the amount paid is imputed into their income.

    We have a major employer in our area that provides this benefit and on some of my newly acquired clients 2007 returns HRB took a deduction for the cost of the membership on Schedule A Miscellaneous expenses subject to the 2%.

    For a married couple with union dues and the membership fees it does exceed the 2%.

    This does not seem correct and I have skimmed over TTB and pubs, however slightly - I can't find any information that would confirm this to be correct?

    Am I missing something or did the previous preparer incorrectly take this deduction?

    I think you're

    correct. Club dues are not a deduction. The IRS is rather firm on this point. Suggest you check the pub and photocopy the page showing "club dues" are not deductible. (or IRC 274a3).
