Imputed Income

[CConarty1]

Hello, I currently have my domestic partner under my company's health plan, but she also qualifies as a dependent. She has lived with me the whole year, makes less than $4700, and I pay for more than half of her expenses. When my company gave me my W-2 this year, they included both my health costs and her's as imputed income. We signed a document at the beginning of 2023 registering that she qualified as a dependent and that they would not include this in my taxable income. Now I am paying over $7,000 in taxes because of this. They keep pushing us off and not giving me an updated W-2. What can I do about this?

see this older article , but the company is probably correct in treating your DP health insurance as taxable income to you. if you were married the answer would be different.

being able to claim your DP as a dependent is completely separate from how your paying their health insurance is taxed. 

if you believe your company made misrepresentations see a lawyer.
