Domestic Partner's Benefit Tax Implication:

The Internal Revenue Service ruled that the actual cost of domestic partner benefits is taxable income to the employee. To arrive at the actual cost of this benefit, the CSU examined the premium structure for health, vision, and dental benefits. For health and dental, CSU has the following structure:

• Employee only
• Employee plus one dependent
• Employee plus two or more dependents

For these two benefits, the taxable income of the domestic partner benefit will be the cost difference between the employee only and the employee plus one dependent premium rate. This approach recognizes the value of adding one dependent, using a single employee as the base line. The State Controller鈥檚 Office will use a flat tax rate of 22% Federal, 6.2% Social Security, and 1.45% Medicare to withhold taxes on the value of the benefits.

NOTE:听Employees who claim their Domestic Partners as tax dependents are听not听subject to the imputed tax liability.

For vision, the cost is a flat rate regardless of the number of dependents. Adding domestic partners to the program will have a negligible impact on the premium. As a result, there is no taxable income to you for adding a domestic partner to your vision insurance plan.

To enroll or make changes, you will need to have completed and have on file the听.
