Special Instructions for Box 12 code FF
Starting January 1, 2017 employers with less than 50 employees can offer employees a reimbursement for medical insurance that provides minimum essential coverage (MEC). There are a number of requirements and regulations that should be considered before deciding to provide this non-taxable benefit. If you did comply with the required notices on or before March 12, 2017 then you can use Shelby Next Financials to add the required FF code in box 12 of the W2. For 2018 tax year, notices have to be provided at least 90 days before the start of the new year.
Instructions for adding required information on employee's W2 are the same as the the instructions for adjusting the Employer Paid Health Care Value on a W2 except you use a custom distribution. Below is a summary of the steps:
1. Modify > Employer Information: Verify that the Non-Cash Clearing Account is correct.
2. Modify > Compensation Information: Add a New Compensation and Distribution named "Qualified Health Reimbursement Arrangements" and assign the same account number that was used for the Non-Cash Clearing Account.
3. Enter > Manual Check: Use this new distribution to process manual checks for each employee. (When posted, these manual checks adjust Box 12 - code FF on the employee's W2.)
Refer to the image below for selecting the correct options when creating the new compensation and distribution.
