How do I map Health Care Costs to Box 12DD on W2 forms?
If you are an employer that provides what the IRS defines as Applicable Employer-Sponsored Coverage under a group health plan, then you are required to report the cost of coverage on Form W-2. We recommend consulting with a compliance expert to determine if your company meets this requirement.
If you determine that you need to report on the Cost of Health Care on your W-2 (Box 12DD), follow the steps below in Namely Payroll:
-
On the Namely homepage, click Manage Payroll.
-
Go to Company > Deductions.
-
Click Edit next to the deductions you need to map
-
Check Yes in the Is this deduction for an employer-sponsored health coverage? field
-
Click Save.
