Question

rent reimbusement

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

Level 13

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?

Level 15

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.
