Common imputed-income items include group-term life insurance over $50,000, domestic-partner health coverage, personal use of a company vehicle, and certain fringe benefits. Each carries specific valuation rules.

PEO payroll systems typically automate imputed-income calculation when properly configured. Manual workarounds are a frequent source of W-2 amendments.
