I'd gladly guide you in adding employer-sponsored health insurance information on the W2 form in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Brita.

 

First off, FishingForAnswers' input correctly highlights the need to map the payroll item to the appropriate tax tracking type, which is the Health Coverage Cost, to report it on the W-2, box 12, code DD. To accomplish this, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to Lists, then Payroll Item List.
  2. Locate the health insurance item name and right-click on it.

  3. Select Edit Payroll Item.
