Imputed Income - My employer overstated the imputed income. What can I do?
At the beginning of 2019, I added my domestic partner to my health plan. In July 2019, my partner started to work for the same employer and enrolled in the health insurance plan and obtained his own member number. Essentially, he was under two member numbers. Later in September we married but we did not report this qualifying event within the 60 day period. Now my employer added the whole year's worth of imputed income (health insurance) when he was under his own member number. They should have only increased my gross wages by 1/2 year worth of imputed income. They are not only overstating my income but they will also overstate their deductions when they file their corporate tax return. Social Security and Medicare was not affected because they added the whole year worth of imputed tax at the end of the year and did not adjust SSN or Medicare. I know the insurance company must have or could refund them the 1/2 worth of premium as a DOM Part., because they had the my spouse listed twice under two different member numbers. How can I have them correct my W2, they are not receptive about the issue? Or can take the difference as a deduction on taxes and explain error to IRS?
