No. It is a cost of commuting.

I doubt they reimburse her for commuting miles.

Sounds like a convenience, not a business expense.
Employers don't typically reimburse for monthly parking in a
downtown location without creating additional compensation.

No. Parking is not a valid employee expense. (It could be
tax free if the employer paid for it as an employee benefit,
up to $195 per month. Ask her to see if the bank will make a
deal. Lower her salary and pay the parking. Saves on FICA
and unempoyment)

Default US Bank EE - Mo. Parking Fees Deductible?

US Bank Employee (EE) uses her car for her job and has the
following arrangement:

1. Reimburse for all mileage, hotel, and meals.
2. Require to return in all reciepts by the EOM.
3. US Bank deducts her Monthly Parking from her
personal checking account.

Based on above items it appears she falls under the
"Accountable Plan" refer to in Pub 463.

Question: Wouldn't her Monthly Parking Fees be deductible
on Form 2106 and thereby be subject to 2% AGI?
