My employer reimburses half the cost of my monthly public transit ticket to get to the office. The reimbursement is not on my W2 and is less than $100 per month. I pay for the ticket with after tax dollars and receive the reimbursement after submitting the receipt. Is this taxable income or does it qualify as a tax exempt fringe benefit?
If it is taxable, in Turbotax do I put it under Less Common Income>Miscellaneous Income>Other income not already reported on a Form W-2?

No, your employer reimbursed public transit ticket payment is not taxable. It is considered a qualified transportation benefit and is not included in your income and is not taxable.
