Imputed income is income that is the result of you providing services to yourself, such as owning a home rather than paying rent to another person. It is not normally a payroll deduction. In some cases you can be taxed on imputed income, and that might result in a payroll deduction. The best way to find out why imputed income is coming out of your pay is to ask the person who prepares the payroll about it.

What is imputed income?

Income that may not be seen as cash, but instead comes in the form of a benefit...sometimes by having another pay an expense...sometimes by having a benefit provided. Examples: The value of a car provided by your employer that you may use for personal use. That value is imputed income. Likewise, the value of having some other benefits - over $50,000 a year of life insurance provided by your employer (the value of the insurance is imputed income). An employer sponsored (even if what it does just work to make the costs lower) of an on site cafeteria - imputed benefit. Having a below market rate loan...that some employers provide certain employees...the lower interest that they forgoe is a benefit to you...and hence imputed income.


What is imputed rent?

Imputed rent...or imputed anything for tax, means implied rather than specified....so for example...if your emplyer gives you a place to live as part of your employment...that is actually like him giving you an additional amount of salary (clearly you woul work for less if he pays your housing than if you need to pay it yourself...same with if he provides you say a car...that too is a form of payment/income even though the value of it isn't specified in your salary. In these cases, for tax purposes, the value you receive as income is "imputed" and determined (and must be reported by the employer or you) as income anyway. Another example is imputed interest- even if the agreement says no interest is charged on a loan, the one making the loan MUST report interest income as it is imputed in whatever the agreement was (the minimum rate is specified by law)...since no business would actually laon money without interest of some type, because there would be no business purpose in doing so.

How does a Company pay taxes on imputed income?

I believe you might have your understanding of the phrases confused. "Imputed income" is considered to be income you COULD have made doing a certain job REGARDLESS of the amount you reported to the authorities. A corporation does not have to pay taxes on "imputed" income, they only pay withholding tax on the wages they ACTUALLY pay you. ON THE OTHER HAND; if the corporation was PURPOSELY under-paying your withholding tax they could be liable under the tax laws for criminal penalties.

I'm truly not exactly sure, but I think it's for life insurance. Maybe. Life insurance provided by an employer of more than 50K is considered a taxable benefit. Therefore the value of it is made into taxable income (under a complex formula) and this would be either the amount of income imputed or the tax on that income.
