How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Taxable moving-expense reimbursement alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
A $1,000 taxable relocation reimbursement can increase gross pay by $1,000 while the net increase is smaller after withholding.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
