Year-End Benefits
Your employer may decide to treat fringe benefits provided during the last two months of the calendar year as if they were paid during the following year. For example, if your employer makes this election for a company car provided to you in November or December of 2009, only the value of personal use from January through October is taxable to you in 2009; personal use in November and December is taxable in 2010. If your employer elects this special year-end rule, you should be notified near the end of the year or when you receive Form W-2.
