We have a deduction/contribution payroll item in QB Online under the category "Health Insurance". Will this contribution track to box 12 of the W-2 with the code DD?

It's nice to have you in the thread, @Bookkeeper11.

 

Yes, Health Coverage Cost is something that you'll need to track so this will report on your employees W2. 

 

To do this, create a payroll item for Health Coverage Cost as the Tax tracking type.  Just follow the steps provided by my colleague @GraceC to complete the process. 

 

Once done, add the payroll item on the employee's profile. 

 

Here's a great resource with a detailed guidelines that you can check on for more detailed information: QuickBooks Desktop Payroll reporting Employer Sponsored Health Coverage Cost on Form W-2.

 

Get back to me if you have any other questions, I'm here for you. Have a great day!

According to the IRS, the Employee Deduction should ALWAYS be included with the Employer Contribution when using the Code DD in Box 12.  

 

Therefore, our question:

  • Will Intuit be correcting its Payroll Items such that the Employee Health Insurance withholdings amount is reported ALONG WITH the Employer Contribution for Health Insurance, in conformity with the IRS directions?

 

From https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/form-w-2-reporting-of-employer-sponsored-health-coverage

In general, the amount reported should include both the portion paid by the employer and the portion paid by the employee.

Why are all the detailed step by steps & screenshots of the desktop when Inuit actively encourages everyone to move to the online QB? Is there a step by step guide for how to include employer sponsored health insurance in the online platform? I would like to make sure I am tracking 2021 properly so if possible, I don't need to make manual adjustments to the W-2s at the end of the year. If this is not currently possible, Quickbooks should make it possible.

Thank you for joining the thread, @allisonnpeck.

 

At this time, QuickBooks only allows you to report employer-sponsored health insurance manually by updating the Health Coverage amounts in box 12 of the W-2 form.

 

I can see how beneficial it is for you and your business to automatically report employer-sponsored health insurance on W-2s. However, QuickBooks make sure that the system complies with the IRS requirements on reporting this portion.

 

You might want to check out this article for more details: Report employer health insurance on W-2s.

 

Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you succeed with QuickBooks. I've got your back. Have a great day!

We have both the employer paid and what employees paid. On the W2's it is not adjusting the gross income after the deduction of their portion of what they paid I have it set up to take from gross income
