Retirement tax questions

The question asked here was not about employer-provided health insurance but was just about supplemental wages paid to the employee that the employee used to buy individual health insurance.

 

It was improper for the employer to report the supplemental wages on Form 1099-MISC.  They should have been included in boxes 1, 3 (up to the Social Security wage base) and 5 of the employee's W-2.
