Changes to the TAP Policy related to taxes were announced by the USG in November of 2022 and are effective for the calendar/tax year 2022 going forward:

• The TAP benefit is no longer taxable for TAP participants taking undergraduate courses, even those who exceed the formerly used IRS $5,250 taxable benefit limit.  
• The TAP benefit continues to be taxable for TAP participants taking graduate and doctoral level courses over the annual $5,250 limit unless the individual course is approved for a tax waiver.
  
  • In order to be eligible for approval of a tax waiver, the individual course would need to improve the employee鈥檚 knowledge or performance in their current job duties. 
  • If the education is to meet the minimum educational requirement for the current job, to qualify for a promotion or salary increase, to qualify for a transfer or is being taken as a hobby, it would NOT be eligible for a tax waiver鈥� and taxes would apply on the benefit over $5,250. 
  • If requested, hiring managers may be asked to articulate in writing the applicability of the course content in relation to the employee鈥檚 job functions.

When applicable, KSU is required to account for that benefit by increasing taxable wages during the calendar year in which the benefit was received.  Calculation of taxable wages includes federal and state income tax withholdings as well as flat-rate FICA/Med and social security taxes.

When taxable tuition waivers exceed $5,250, it is extremely likely that this increase in taxable wages will result in a decrease of net pay.  The amount of decrease in take-home pay is specific to each employee based on a combination of factors such as:

• Amount of additional taxable benefit (tuition dollars waived over $5,250)
• Annualized salary rate
• Pay frequency
• Personal choices for state and federal tax withholding rate

This increase is taxable wages, and those taxes can be deducted from an employee鈥檚 paycheck at any point in the year as confirmation of the waiver amounts are determined.  Payroll will send notifications in advance when the taxable amount is added to wages.  KSU is not able to provide specific information regarding individual impact.  A tax professional should be consulted for further information and explanation concerning taxable wages and tuition benefit implications.  KSU鈥檚 EAP provides resources for financial and tax consultations.

Employees participating in TAP are encouraged to monitor their tuition charges within the student portal each semester and promptly contact the Bursar鈥檚 Office at their school of enrollment for an explanation of tuition amounts.

Each term, applications for TAP waivers and any associated  must be approved by the supervisor and submitted to the  at the home institution (employer) by the following deadlines:

• Fall Semester 鈥� July 15th (includes Decembermester)
• Spring Semester 鈥� November 15th
• Summer Semester 鈥� April 15th (includes Maymester)
