- The expenses must have a business connection (NMC “business purpose”).

- The expenses must be adequately accounted for within 60 days after they were paid or incurred.
- Any excess reimbursement or allowance must be returned within 120 days after the expense was paid or incurred.
For more details, see the NMC Accountable Plan.
Reimbursement requests that do not satisfy ALL the IRS rules for an Accountable Plan listed above and exceed $600 per calendar year will be considered taxable income and paid via payroll and included in form W2 (employees) or reported to IRS on Form 1099 (non-employees; payees will receive their copies of Form 1099 by January 31).
