My employer is taxing me on the insurance premium of my child, my DP, and DP's child.
Seems ok then.
The benefit to the DP is taxable unless they can be your tax dependent (lived with you all year, income less than $5200). If the child is not your biological or adopted child, their health care benefit is taxable to you unless they can be your tax dependent. However, a child who is not related can't be your tax dependent unless their parent is not required to file a tax return (because their income is too low) AND the child lives in your home the entire year AND no other person has a valid claim to the child as a dependent.
If you adopt the child, their benefit becomes non-taxable (notify your employer). Likewise if you marry your DP.
