VERIFY YOUR LINE-OF-DUTY INJURY TAX DEDUCTION
As in prior years, we’re duplicating the information contained in Delegate Manual Section White Four. Utilize the pay charts listed below to estimate if the proper deductions were taken by the FDNY administration on your W-2 statement. If not, file the appropriate L.O.D.I. Reconciliation Form. Normally there is no need to file the old fashioned supporting statement, but here is what it looks like. The actual full size pages (shown below) and Local Law # 78 are in the manual available for duplication when confronted with strange circumstances.

W-2's and YOUR LINE-OF-DUTY INJURY TAX DEDUCTION
As you should be aware of, the Department now computes your line-of-duty medical leave days automatically and deducts the amount from your taxable income as per prior UFA contractual agreement. Use this chart to verify that the proper deduction has been made to your W-2. This 65-2 Communication Bulletin is our standard four page LODI tax deduction packet, which is not necessary to use if the Department has made the proper adjustment in the Miscellaneous Box of your W-2 form. Do Not Take Duplicate Deductions if your gross taxable wages have already been reduced by the FDNY accordingly.
