Join nowWe offer 100% health insurance coverage to our employees (26 person office). We have 2 employees who are obtaining health insurance on their spouses plan. Therefore, we reimburse them for these premiums, up to the amount we would have paid for their coverage. We want to include these reimbursements on their paychecks as an other addition as non taxable; however, we were told these payments should be taxed. Anyone else have this situation?
Thank you for providing me with so much detail, batvalil.
First, let me share some insights about the health insurance in QuickBooks Online.
The employer would have to determine if the reimbursement for the employees is taxable or not. If you need to update some amounts on the payroll, you can delete and recreate the paycheck. Then, you can make an internal agreement with the employee to resolve the difference of the net amount.

Thank you very much for this information. Our CPA has told us that the health insurance reimbursement is taxable & should show up in Box 1 of the W2. I looked through the supported pay types & deductions. I thought the taxable Health Insurance was the proper option until I noticed that it states this doesn't show up on the W2.
Wondering if anyone else has encountered this and which pay type/deduction they utilized. Other earnings seems to provide the results, but seeing how others in the community have handled this type of situation.
