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?
