Imputed Income Tables--Fair Market Value for Non-Tax Dependents

The Fair Market Value (FMV) of insurance coverage provided for an individual who does not qualify as a dependent under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 152, (for example, domestic partners and certain dependents to age 27) is taxable for employees. Therefore, the FMV of the health insurance benefit must be added to an employee’s earnings as imputed income.

The monthly imputed income amounts vary by health plan and are provided for either 1 non-tax dependent, or 2 or more non-tax dependents. These dollar amounts will be adjusted annually.
Employees who are unsure if a person can be claimed as a dependent should consult IRS Publication 501 or a tax advisor.
