The employer should include the value of the gift card in the wages in box 1 of your W-2. If they do that correctly, you do not have to do anything special to report it. It's already included in your income.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 10 Jan 2025 18:22:39 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-if-my-employer-gives-me-a-gift-card-for-christmas-do-i-have-to-claim-it/01/3417252#M1260333 rjs 2025-01-10T18:22:39Z
