Is there a work around for FSA Transit Commuter and Parking Commuter? I was told that quickbooks does not support those. Any ideas how to work around? Thanks

Does it mean won't support it that it wouldn't flow to the W-2's?

Hello, Pebbles135.

 

You can consult your bookkeeper to oversee commuter benefits for multiple employees, as we currently don’t have a workaround to accurately manage these FSA Transit commuter benefits on W-2 forms.

 

I’ve included some articles regarding W-2 forms and related topics for your reference:
 

 

We’ll be available if you need further assistance with W-2 forms or anything related to QuickBooks. We’d be glad to help!

Will I be able to add those amounts to my W-2's before intuit finalizes them. Thanks.

Yes, Pebbles. You can still add the Commuter benefit amounts on your 2025 W-2 filings as this will be due on January 2026.

 

You'll need to set up the correct payroll item for these amounts. Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to My Apps, then choose Payroll and Employees.
  2. Select the employee.
  3. Go to Deductions and contributions and select Start or Edit.
  4. Click the + Add deduction/contribution.
  5. If you need to set up a pre-tax item for commuter benefits, select Health Insurance.
  6. Once done, add a suitable name in the Description box. Please know that this name will appear on your paychecks.
  7. Then, select how your deduction is calculated and ensure that you enter the correct amount or percentage.
  8. After that, click Save and Done.

 

You can repeat the steps above to set up the second deduction item. For reference, please visit this article: Set up, change, or delete employee-paid payroll deductions.

 

However, to ensure your setup is compliant with IRS regulations and the amounts are correctly reported on your tax forms, I highly recommend consulting with your accountant.
