Info Reimbursements for employee usage of mobile technology are currently provided on a tax-exempt basis. To comply with the IRS language for deductible business expenses of “both ordinary and necessary” the UO determines an average cost for a representative level of technology and service plan, and utilizes that average to set maximum reimbursement amounts for each tier of service.
