How much you pay in tax is entirely based on what tax bracket you fall under. You are only taxed on your enrolled friends travel, not yours or your family.
It is payroll deducted in the form of income taxes withheld.
Lets say you earned $2,000 for the paycheck, your secret girlfirend i.e. *enrolled friend* flew to Omaha for a overnight rendezvous with you a few weeks back - Yonited calculates a fare value lets say $200 - which the IRS says Hey! That's a taxable benefit! - So that "value" is represented as "imputed income" on your paycheck - NOW your paycheck says you earned $2,200 and your taxed on that $2,200 according to your with holdings, exemptions, etc....get it

You're welcome to try to get a refund through the SKYW Travel Center, but odds are sadly not in your favor. Mother U is a money-grubbing, soul sucking black hole of a company, which year after year tries harder and harder to get more from us in exchange for less and less... I live in a UAL domicile and I still almost never non-rev on them, largely because even on our own metal you are relegated to the jumpseat when there are 5 dinosaurs with vacation passes listed ahead of you. Delta is a far superior experience (no extra charge for business/first, no extra charge for beer in premium class cabins just because you're a non-rev!), and Southwest and Frontier treat us better than United gate agents do.
BTW, U2 fan? LOVE your screenname.

Delta is far superior. I just wish I didn't live in a United hub.

Bring pilot certificate. Remain conscious during the interview. Smile, look a bit stupid and sorry if you can't answer a question. Smile more. Don't shy away if they hold a mirror under your nose for a few seconds.
