FAQ

Tuition reimbursement amount is now $5,000 for employees in certain bargaining units.

If it is more than the amount of New York State tax that you owe, you can claim a refund. The maximum deduction is $10,000 for each eligible student. The college tuition itemized deduction may offer you a greater tax benefit if you itemized deductions on your New York State tax return.

Health insurance in New York While health insurance isn't required by state law, federal law requires employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) to provide insurance with minimum essential coverage (MEC). Offering health benefits to your workers is a great way to attract and retain top talent.

Tax Information Taxable Employee Expense Reimbursements are considered taxable fringe benefits. As such, they are supplemental taxable income, will be added to the employee's taxable gross wages for tax withholding purposes, and are subject to employment and income taxes.

No reporting or tax withholding is required on educational assistance benefits provided to State employees up to the $5,250 limit for the tax year. Benefits that exceed the $5,250 limit are generally taxable, unless they qualify for exclusion as a “working condition fringe benefit.”
