Republican tax law hits churches

18. I actually think you're wrong.

We have the choice of electing to pay for our health insurance where I work pre-tax or post-tax.

Moreover, the school district has had a number of free perks to make teaching here more attractive. They put a reasonable amount to health insurance; in some years, most of our compensation increase has gone for health insurance, since it's not taxed. They put some money in an FSA if you chose a health plan that had a donut-hole in it, to get you through the donut hole. And if you don't use all your leave/personal days during the year, they partly pay you a bonus for them into a 401k they set up for each employee.

Since I teach science, I also get a stipend that I don't think is taxable.

It'll be interesting to see if any of those are hit by a tax.

We won't be hit by a tax for our free parking. There's a huge lot and hundreds of students park there, too.
