Publication 17
taxmap/pub17/p17-149.htm#en_us_publink1000174052How you treat reimbursements depends on the arrangement you have
with your employer.
There are two basic types of reimbursement arrangements—accountable
plans and nonaccountable plans. You can tell the type of plan you are reimbursed
under by the way the reimbursement is reported on your Form W-2.
For information about how to treat reimbursements under both
accountable and nonaccountable plans, see
Reimbursements in chapter 26.
