Tax Benefits Companies who implement recognitions strategies throughout their organization yield higher performance, retention, and safety levels versus those using other forms of incentives. The IRS recognizes the value of employee achievement recognition and makes, specific allowances: An employer can deduct up to $400 for employee achievement awards’ given to anyone employee during for ‘qualified plans awards’ given to any single employee during a tax year.”

Be an item of tangible personal property awarded as part of a meaningful presentation. Fall under an average award cost of $400 with an upper limit of $1,600. Awards over $1,600 are taxable to the recipient for the amount above $1,600. Service awards may be given every five years beginning at five years of service. Typical awards given before five years are protected because they are of nominal value. Safety awards must be given to fewer than 10% of eligible employees. Management, administrative, clerical, and professional employees do not qualify.

Tax Benefits Continued – These are not tax exemptions: Cash or cash-equivalent awards – (gift certificate, stored-value card, gift card) Even if presented as a service or safety award, the only way these types of awards qualify for tax-exempt status is if they can only be exchanged for tangible personal property.
