Employer Reimbursement

[Usual_Suspect]

I own a business, moved it out of California a few years back to NV, not due to any 2A issues, mainly due to taxes and other regulations. I have always encouraged employees who want to, obtain their CCW. This past week I was going over tax forms with my CPA, while he was in my office, he noticed a list of perks, said I was the only employer he has seen pay for CCW's as a perk, he didn't think it was legal, there is no law against it. I allow paid time off that is not counted as vacation, to attend training, go to interviews, live scan, pickups, etc. If you obtain your CCW, all the employee has to do is submit receipts, and you will get reimbursed for the cost of Live Scan or rolled prints, and the cost of the CCW fees, which includes renewals. I can't believe I am the only employer that does this, it is a drop in the bucket considering the cost of everything else.

Tell your CPA to write if off, with the possibility of needing to later defend it to the IRS. The IRS may not question it at all. At worst, it'd be an employer paying for employees' personal expenses which, perhaps, should then be added to the employees' personal income. Right now, I think Post 1 is saying it's reimbursing for educational expenses which relates to the security of the business.
