Tax Treatment of Domestic Partner Coverage/Gross-Up Policy
If you're covering a domestic partner as described in "Eligible Dependents" in the Health Care Participation section, there are tax implications of which you should be aware.
JPMorgan Chase is required to report the entire value of the medical coverage for a "Domestic Partner" as taxable (or "imputed") income to you and to withhold for federal, state and FICA taxes on the imputed income. The imputed income includes the amount that both you and JPMorgan Chase contribute toward the cost of coverage.
Please Note: If you certify that your domestic partner and/or your domestic partner's children are your tax dependents, by calling HR Answers you will not be subject to taxation of imputed income on the tax dependent's coverage.
