I need to add a value and a code FF to line 12a on the W-2 form for each employee. How do I do this?

Hi there, @mlinked.
 

You can manually add a value and the code "FF" to Box 12a on the W-2 form by using payroll item setup. Here's how to do it:
 

1. Go to the Lists menu and select Payroll Item List.
2. Click the Payroll Item button at the bottom left and select New.
3. Choose Custom Setup and click Next.
4. Select Addition and click Next.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the item for reporting amounts under Box 12 with code FF.
    

Then, assign the Payroll Item to Employees.
 

However, if you've already processed payroll and need to update this on your employee's W-2 forms, I recommend contacting our Live Support Team for further assistance by visiting this article: Get help with QuickBooks products and services. 
 

Please let us know if you have further concerns.

I am on QuickBooks Payroll Core, so maybe I do not see those menu items?

I appreciate you getting back to this thread, Mlinked.

QuickBooks Online Core Payroll does not allow manual entry of Box 12 codes, like FF, on W-2 forms. These codes are automatically generated based on the configuration of payroll items and their tax tracking throughout the year.

I recommend contacting our live support team to check what needs to be corrected.

Here's how to reach them:

1. Click the Help icon in the upper right corner
2. Choose Search, then type Contact Us.
3. Select Contact US, and enter a brief description of the issue.
