Reimbursement for Moving Expense

Question

Last year our company purchased another company. This company is to remain a stand alone company at this point.  One of the VPs of that company has been commuting between Tucson and Las Vegas for his Job. We (the parent company) are going to pay for him to move permanently to Las Vegas. He's not considered an employee of the parent company so we can't run the relocation cost through payroll as he is not on our payroll.  Would we need to send him a 1099 Misc then as non employee compensation?

Answer

This is...

an employment-related expense for this employee and should be run through the payroll of his employer pursuant to the accountable plan rules rather than being treated as nonemployee compensation.  The parent company will reimburse the stand-alone company.
