Hello dear community members, Does any one know how to add Box 12 employer sponsored health insurance amount to employees' W2 forms? I contacted on January 3, 2024 Quickbooks payroll service and they kept telling me that it can not be done. Any solution? The feature of automated tax and form is turned on currently. Thanks for any input?
Let me share some information about adding employer health insurance on W-2s in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Faith-hope.
We appreciate you for contacting our Payroll Support Team about this one. Our payroll services don’t automatically report employer-sponsored health insurance on W-2s. You may need to call us to have it added or take extra steps when filing your W-2s (depending on your payroll service). When you're required to report health insurance on your W-2s, there are some things we need to consider:
Then, we can add your health insurance amounts from December 4, 2023, through January 1, 2024, if you have automatic tax payments and filings turned on. If it is turned off, just add your health insurance amounts starting December 2 until you file them with the government. Here's how:

Hi,
If January 1, 2024 has passed, can I turn off the automated tax and filing feature and then edit the W2? If so, after I edit box 12, can I turn on the automated tax and filing again without affecting other automated tax filing that were scheduled before I turn the automated feature off? Thanks for your reply.
I appreciate you for getting back to us, @Faith-hope. Allow me to point you in the right direction so you can get the assistance you need in reporting employer health insurance on W-2s in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Currently, you're unable to turn Auto-Pay/File off since it has been temporarily disabled until February to prevent filing issues or mishaps. Once toggled, it will go into effect on the first of the following month. This allows our automated system to go through its processes with less concern for error.
That said, I recommend reaching out to our customer support team so they can add employer health insurance to your W-2 forms. To do that:
