INS: Healthcare Costs Report

Overview

For benefits managed in WinTeam's Insurance Benefits module, you can use the Insurance Benefits Healthcare Costs report to review the total cost of employer-sponsored insurance, which is reported on Employee Form W-2 Box 12. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act also requires that employers report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan. The purpose of the reporting requirement is to inform employees about the cost of their health coverage; reporting healthcare coverage costs does not make coverage taxable to the employee.

The amount reported should include the total premium paid by the employer. This includes both employee contribution amounts and the employer's portion of healthcare costs .This amount is what is shown in the ER Premium column and is typically a monthly premium amount. This report can then be used to make monthly tax adjustments to the Special W-2 Description Employee Sponsored Healthcare.

If you do not have Benefits set up in the Insurance Benefits module, you can manually track Employer Sponsored Healthcare Coverage amounts, and then create a Tax Adjustment at the end of the year in order to report the appropriate amounts in Box 12 of the Form W-2.

Only employer sponsored benefit set up in INS: Benefit Setup ,with the Include on W2 as Employer Sponsored Health Coverage selected will display on the Benefits list to be included in the INS: Healthcare Costs Report. Costs can be displayed by the employer (ER), the employee (EE), or combined, and used for tracking purposes and tax reporting.


The Healthcare Costs report may be accessed from WinTeam's Insurance Benefits module.
