Question
Where does box 12DD come from on an employee's Form W-2?
Answer
Box 12DD on an employee's Form W-2 contains the cost of all health benefit deductions paid out by the employer. Visit Toast Payroll: Understand Your Form W-2 to discover what each box is for.
A deduction can be reviewed for additional employer costs by navigating to an employee’s profile > Employment > Recurring > Deductions. In addition to the deduction's normal amount, this setup page includes the ERCost incurred per pay period and the historical YTD ERCosts. ER stands for employer.
For these dollar amounts to successfully be included in the employee's Form W-2 at the end of the year, the Include ER-Cost In W2-Reports flag must be checked on the deduction's global configuration. An HR+ user should contact us to have this setting enabled.
