Taylor Luther

My name is Taylor Luther. I was born in Virginia but raised in Connecticut until 1996 when my family moved to Burns, Tennessee. I have a younger brother, Dalton, who lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and a younger sister, Kyndall, who is currently living in Birmingham, Alabama, but recently accepted a job as a nurse at Vanderbilt. My mom is a nurse anesthetist at Vanderbilt and my dad has worked for the Dickson County school system for years.

My husband, Brett Luther, was born and raised in Dickson, Tennessee. He is a Certified Financial Planner and has worked at Morgan Stanley since 2006. We met during my freshman year of college at Austin Peay State University, where he was playing on a baseball scholarship. We currently reside in Dickson County with our four precious fur babies (Carter, Hooter, Maddie, and Sadie) and are expecting our first REAL baby at the end of April. It's a boy!

In December 2013, I began private practice as an attorney, working out of the office of Brogdon & Creasy, in Dickson, Tennessee. Over the last year or so, I've practiced in several different areas of the law, including, but not limited to, criminal law, juvenile law, wills, insurance defense, etc. I will be continuing my work in private practice on the days that I am not working at Benefits, Inc.

One of the most intriguing things about this position is having the opportunity to be really knowledgeable in one specific area of the law. In my short time as an attorney in private practice, I've learned that it's extremely difficult to pick one area of practice and specialize only in that area.

I'll close this short bio about my life by saying how excited and grateful I am to be a part of such a wonderful, successful company. I've heard great things about Benefits, Inc. and I look forward to working with each and every one of you.

Kyle Sanders   

My name is B. Kyle Sanders, and I am married to Ashley (Primm) Sanders. We have two children, Addison (7) and Drew (4). My wife and I both attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where we received our undergraduate degrees. Ashley teaches kindergarten in Dickson County. I have been in the private practice of law in Dickson County since 2004 when I graduated from the University of Memphis, Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. While in law school, I was chosen to serve on the Moot Court Board and participated on the Duberstein National Moot Court Team. In addition, I received the Dean's Award for Academic Excellence in Decedents' Estates. I'm also serving my second four-year term as county commissioner for Dickson County, having been elected in 2010 and again in 2014.

I'm very excited about the opportunity provided to me by Benefits, Inc. and I look forward to meeting all of you in the days ahead.

IRS guidance on how to apply the retroactive increase for monthly transit benefits in 2014 is now available for employers. As announced in December, the monthly exclusion for combined commuter highway vehicle transportation and transit passes was retroactively increased from $130 to $250, until January 1, 2015.

The guidance provides a special administrative procedure for certain employers that treated "excess transit benefits"--i.e., in excess of $130 and up to $250--as wages and did not yet file their fourth quarter Form 941 for 2014 (due February 2nd). Employers that already filed the fourth quarter Form 941, or that have not repaid or reimbursed employees prior to filing the fourth quarter Form 941, must use Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund, and normal procedures (described in the guidance) to make an adjustment or claim a refund for any quarter in 2014.
