Each year, the University makes efforts to notify faculty and staff who received taxable benefits related to their employment, above and beyond their regular pay. Common taxable benefits include meal benefits, living expenses, season tickets and non-cash awards such as championship rings. Employees who receive such items must pay tax on them from their final paychecks of the calendar year.
Most affected employees are notified via an e-mail sent to their uconn.edu address. The e-mail is sent from taxcompliance@uconn.edu. Please check your spam or clutter folders to make sure that these e-mails are not being caught in them. Notifications began on November 16, 2016.
Please note: Only a small portion of University employees receive taxable fringe benefits. University employees who do not receive the types of benefits described above are not affected by this announcement and will not receive an e-mail notification.
