rent reimbusement

Do I add this to my total salary on my return?

Just enter your W-2 as it was presented to you - do not change the numbers to add "rent reimbursement".

If your employer paid (reimbursed) your rental costs, the amount should already be included in Box 1 of your W-2. If not included on your W-2, it should be reported to you separately on another tax form (1099-MISC).

It was not my employer that reimbursed me. What do I do?

No - If you're referring to the COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program, the payments are not considered income and are not taxable. Do not include them in your return.

No it's for normal rent I paid.

Rent you paid is not entered on your tax return. If you received reimbursement for rent, who did you receive it from?

The people I paid rent to.

You do not have to report this rent reimbursement on your tax return. If your landlord (who you paid rent to) reimbursed some portion of your rent (or all of it), it is not taxable.

So I have to report this?

Re: rent reimbusement

Irene2805 — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 14:23:10 GMT

No -- you do not have to report it.

What about a overdraft repaid to me?

Re: rent reimbusement

Irene2805 — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 14:51:54 GMT

No - don't include it as income, either.

Are you sure?

Re: rent reimbusement

Irene2805 — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 17:47:44 GMT

Yes - from just the phrase you used. Please explain what you mean by "overdraft repaid to me."

An overdraft from a subscription fee to slingtv some time ago.

An overdraft from a subscription fee to SlingTV is not "income" and is not reported on your tax return.
