Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage Cost on W-2 Form
Q: I was wondering if the new changes
for 2015 W-2 reporting will be in place? This is for adding EMPLOYER COST OF
HEALTH INSURANCE to the W-2 with the code DD.
A: Yes, the system allows for
manual updating of the “Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage Cost” in the Employee File, on
the second screen, field #38 (see the screen display below).
Approaches:
- You should prepare the records on a
spreadsheet and summarize the annual cost for each
employee.
Enter the information into the database. There are two ways to do this:
- Enter the code DD amount directly when creating the
W-2 Information File for each employee. The system will update the
DD amount back to Employee File field #38 (second screen) as well. This
is a 2-in-1 job.
- Enter the code DD amount in the Employee File, field #38 (second screen) first. The amount will be applied to the W-2
Information File that you are creating for each employee. The concept is similar to
code D (i.e., 401K) that was applied to the W-2 Information File.
I prefer method a since it saves
time.
