New Wisconsin Section Added on Benefits Taxation

Author: Rena Pirsos, XpertHR Legal Editor

Due to the recent Supreme Court decision in United States v. Windsor recognizing the validity of same-sex marriage and the holdings of the subsequent Revenue Ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal tax treatment of same-sex spousal health insurance benefits, Wisconsin law now differs from federal law in that regard. Accordingly, a new section on Taxation of Employee Benefits: Wisconsin has been added to the Employment Law Manual.
