MVG may refer to a moving-expense payment, sometimes historically labelled nontaxable. The label alone cannot establish a current federal tax exclusion; the tax year and eligibility matter.
Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.
How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Moving-expense reimbursement label 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 legacy payroll system can retain an old “non taxable” label after rules change. The taxable-wage calculation needs checking independently.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Ask what current exclusion supports any tax-free treatment and how the amount is reported on the W-2.
