Imputed Income
Dependents you cannot claim on your federal income tax return are referred to as “non-tax-qualified dependents.” The IRS considers the University’s contribution toward insurance coverage for a non-tax-qualified dependent (such as a domestic partner or the child of a domestic partner) as your imputed income. Imputed income increases your taxable gross income, and is subject to federal and state income taxes and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes.
