Hi, Is my reimbursement for work travel (flights, meals, hotels) and things like office supplies taxable income? I'm seeing these on my W2.

It depends. If they were paid/reimbursed under an accountable plan, allowances or reimbursements paid to employees for job-related expenses are excluded from wages and are not subject to withholding. An allowance or
reimbursement policy (not necessarily a written plan) is considered an accountable plan if:
Your employer may have made a notation in Box 14 of your W-2 indicating the amount of your reimbursement. You will need to ask your employer whether or not that amount is included in Box 1 of your W-2 as taxable income.
