Cell Phone Software Allows IRS Compliance for Wireless, Mobile Phone Business Expenses

Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) March 4, 2008 -- Amtel announces its award winning TIMS? cell phone software (www.amtelnet.com) platform provides the segregation of corporate wireless / mobile / cell phone billing into company verses personal usage segments. Companies can automatically send the reports to the end users or the divisional heads.

Recently IRS (Internal Revenue Service) has audited some large organizations making them liable for millions of dollars in back taxes related to mobile services spend.

IRS Requirements: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code Section 274 classifies mobile phones and pagers as "listed property", making them subject to strict substantiation requirements. Business use of listed property is excluded from the wages of the employee as a working condition fringe benefit. However, any personal use of cell phone / pager devices is taxable and included in the wages of the employee. If substantiation requirements are not met, all use of the mobile device is taxable and included in the wages of the employee.

IRS Regulation 1.274-5T(c) requires adequate records including written documentary evidence sufficient to establish each element of business use.

In order to meet these IRS requirements, the business use of a cell phone must be supported with adequate records, including a detailed listing of calls made and costs of equipment and service.

Amtel's (www.amtelnet.com) award winning TIMS? cell phone software platform (Telecom Information Management System) is designed to provide an easy to manage application for tracking mobile phone services at an organization. Employees can each set up phone numbers to be tracked for personal usage. Companies can set up a detailed mobile phone (www.amtelnet.com) usage policy and track it each month. The system can automatically segregate calls & split billing.

TIMS? hosted SaaS+ based platform provides a comprehensive solution for procurement, inventory management, invoice auditing and cost center allocation of phone services. The solution helps IT & accounting departments to streamline and substantially reduce telecom/mobile expenses at their organizations:
