Imputed Income

[Morgen]

Hello,

I have imputed income listed under box 14 on m W2. This is for health insurance for my Domestic Partner. I do not think that this amount was reported in my income in boxes 1,3 and 5. What should I do? I also need to know what option to pick in the drop down box as  to what the income is for?

Health Insurance for your domestic partner is not income for you. It is an after tax deduction from your wages. This has no effect on your tax. You should select Other - Not in above list.

Please read this TurboTax Help article for more information.

I also received a 1099-Misc form for the amount it cost to cover my Domestic partners dental/vision benefits. Do I need to claim this?

Yes, you do need to claim this on your tax return. This will be entered as other income.

Follow these steps in TurboTax Online:

• In the Federal section, under Your income and expenses
• Scroll to Other Common Income
• Select Form 1099-MISC
• Follow the Prompts and enter amount in Box 3, Continue
•  Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC box
• Do any of these uncommon situations apply? check last box
• Select No, it didn't involve work like my main job on Did the Dental/Vision benefits involve work that's like your main job?
• Answer How often did you get income...Although you may receive this income every year, say that you only receive the 1099-MISC only in 2022, not in previous years and not in 2023, you will then have the screen where you can say that it did not involve an intent to earn money.
• Select No on Did the dental/Vision benefits involve an intent to earn money?
