Is this taxable Income? An employer requires all employees to live at their
hotel(A) for their convenance. They do not provide a cash allowance and it
is a condition of employment to live at the hotel. The employer provides
lodging to all of their employees. This potential employee has a child with
medical conditions and needs to be close to medical assistance. The employer
offers the potential employee to live at their hotel(B) own by the parent
corporation one block away which has medical facitlites located in the
hotel. The potential employee would be working at hotel(A) and living at
hotel(B). Would her lodging paid for by her employer be added to her taxable
income?
