Partners Jonathan Zimmerman and Rosina Barker discussed abortion reimbursement tax expenses with HR News.
Mentioning the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Rosina noted that “[t]he IRS has held that an abortion is medical care, and therefore can be provided on a tax-free basis if the abortion is not illegal under state law.”
“There also are constitutional questions about state laws that regulate conduct that occurs in other states,” said Jonathan. "Some legal questions may not be resolved for some time, but many employers have chosen to offer abortion-related benefits in any case."
