I'm here to share some information about box 12w on your employee's W2 form, @userkeadonna.

 

I'd want to clarify whether or not that exact box doesn't appear on the W2. If this is the case, ensure that a Health Savings Account (HSA) item is set up in QuickBooks Online Payroll. It's most likely the reason why the box didn't appear.

 

Let me show you how:

 

  1. Open the Payroll menu, then click on Employees.
  2. Choose your employee.
  3. Go to Pay types, and hit Start or Edit.
  4. Go to the Additional pay types section, and choose Company HSA Contribution.
  5. When done, click on Save.

 

Both you and your employee can actually track HSA contributions in QBO Payroll. See this for more details: Set up a Health Savings Account (HSA) item in QuickBooks Payroll.

 

I'm also including some useful articles on how to secure a copy of a W2 and some FAQs you may read for more information on dealing with W2s.

 

 

Please let us know if you have additional payroll or QuickBooks concerns. We're here to respond and help as soon as we can. Have a good one and take care always!
