Under the baseline tax system, all compensation, including dedicated payments and in-kind benefits, would be included in taxable income. Dedicated payments and in-kind benefits represent accretions to wealth that do not differ materially from cash wages. In contrast, the Tax Code allows an exclusion from a taxpayer’s taxable income for passes, tokens, fare cards, and vanpool expenses that are paid for by an employer or that are received by the employee in lieu of wages to defray an employee’s commuting costs. Due to a parity to parking provision, the maximum amount of the transit exclusion is $315 per month in 2024. However, beginning in 2018, transit expenses are no longer deductible to employers.
