Surely the IRS cannot demand a company verifies vehicle ownership of its employees? I thought using CRA / IRS 'acceptable' amounts was to keep below a taxable benefit threshold, not that they had to comply identically as if they were filing their return with the IRS as individuals? Meaning an employer can't pay someone $100 / mile without triggering a taxable benefit, as that is not reasonable.
