AO 500: Taxation for Commuting in Government Leased Vehicle
AO 500, Taxation for Commuting in Government Leased Vehicle, is a form from the U.S. Courts listed under Other Forms. The PDF itself is headed Taxation for Commuting in Government-Provided Vehicle. The current version is Rev. 10/19, and the U.S. Courts page lists it as effective on October 1, 2019.
The 2-page form is an internal payroll report, not a court filing. Page 1 identifies an employee by name, title, district and location and has a grid with a row for each day from 1 to 31 and a column for each month from November to October, with monthly subtotals and a total. The employee and a certifying officer sign it. Page 2 repeats the employee details, adds the Employee HRMIS ID Number, and gives the total amount of taxable benefit for the reporting period, addressed to the Payroll Services Branch of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.
This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
