How does the vendor (HR Simplified) verify my transit, vanpool and/or parking purchases?
The vendor will not verify your expenses on a routine basis, although the vendor may randomly audit your expenses by requesting proof of your purchases. Such proof shall include bills, invoices, statements from third party transit vendors, used passes, receipts, or other evidence of payment showing your expenses. If the vendor is unable to provide a receipt or other verification, then employee certification will suffice. It is your obligation to maintain proper documentation to verify that your transit, vanpool and/or parking expenses are excludable from your gross income for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and to notify the University if you have any reason to believe that such expenses are not excludable.
