My employer pays the part of my spouse's health insurance. That part of the money should not be taxable income. However, I made a mistake and gave the wrong info when I enrolled in my health benefit, which causes the money that covers my spouse's health insurance to become taxable income. How could I fix this issue to get the money back? Thanks
How was this money reported? Was it on your W-2? Was this on a 1099-R?
We have to know how this was reported on your tax return in order to be able to help you.
Also, have you e-filed your return already?
Hi,
Yes, It should be in W-2, because I can see the money got taxed in my paystubs.
No, I am still working on it and haven't e-filed the return.
Thanks,
henry
If your employer paid health insurance premiums for your spouse, they should not have been taxable. The insurance premiums would be reported on your W-2 form, in box 12 with the code "DD". If this is so, then they are not taxable.
So I am curious, where is the taxable income being reported on your W-2 form?
Thanks for your reply. Here is box 12 on my W2. Could you help me verify it. Thanks.
