My only options to put her on my insurance are spouse, domestic partner, or child so before we got married my only option was domestic partner.
The company is saying they will not keep track of tax dependent status's of domestic partners and will not adjust. They want me to fix on my tax return instead.
There is no recognized procedure for this. Just because your partner was eligible to be treated as a dependent, doesn't mean you can ignore the imputed income on your W-2 (and I don't fault the company for being conservative, although other companies will take dependent status into account). You can try either of the two fixes you suggest, or speak to a tax professional in your area who will be prepared to assist you if you are audited.
