Enter Cost of Employer Health Coverage to an Employee's W2
Once the Create W2/1099R Records process has been completed, you can still make changes or add additional information.
If you're updating just a few employees, use the Edit W2/1099R Information screen.
For many employees, use the W2 Health Cost Editor for faster entry.
Edit W2/1099R Information (For Individual Changes)
NAVIGATION: UTILITIES menu > W2/1099R Processing > Edit W2/1099R Information
- Click the SSN Browse button to select an employee.
(Employees are listed in Employee # order.) - ⚠️ If an employee has multiple W-2 records, both may need to be updated.
- Open the Box 12/13/14 tab.
- To add a Box 12 code:
- Find the next available Code field (1–4).
- Choose the correct code from the list (e.g., DD – Cost of Employer Health Coverage).
- Enter the amount in the box to the right.
- Click SAVE after completing changes for each employee.
W2 Health Cost Editor (For Bulk Entry)
This opens a grid for quick updates to Box 12, Code DD (Cost of Employer Health Coverage) for multiple employees.
⚠️ Important Notes: Only use this after creating W-2 records.
Do not re-run the Create W2/1099R Records process afterward — it will erase the health care data entered in this grid.
NAVIGATION: UTILITIES menu > W2/1099R Processing > W2 Health/HSA Cost Editor
- Review employee W-2 data before making edits.
- In the grid, locate the Health Cost column.
- Enter the health care amount for each employee.
- When you move off the line or press Enter, the system saves automatically.
- Entering a positive amount adds Code DD to Box 12.
- Changing the amount to zero removes Code DD.
