Cost of covetage in excess of $50,000 must be included in income.The imputed cost of coverage in excess of $50,000 to be determined using IRS premium table.

In this case, the Insurance coverage=4*45,000=$180,000

Exemption =$50,000 coverage

Cost of (18000-50000)=$130,000 coverage should be included in income

Age of Erin=31

As per IRS table (Table 2-2. Cost Per $1,000 of Protection for 1 Month ), the cost per month per thousand dollar for age 31 is $0.08.

Total annual cost to be included in income=0.08*12*130= $ 124.80

If the coverage exceeds $ 50,000, the employee must include in gross income the imputed cost on the protection above this amount. Therefore, Erin includes $124.80
