Square Payroll: How do I add health Insurance to W-2 Box 1?

[filmdom]

I want to include health insurance premiums paid for a 2% shareholder in TAXABLE income (W-2, Box 1), but I'm not subject to any payroll taxes (FICA, Medicare, SDI), so they should NOT show up in Boxes 3 and 5. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Apologies for the delay in this reply @filmdom! If you’re set up as an S-Corp you should see banner on your Payroll Dashboard asking you if you have any health premiums to report.

If you don’t see this banner, please email the Payroll Team directly at payroll@help-messaging.squareup.com with your employee's name and total 2017 health premium reporting amount. These amounts will be added to Form W-2 as well as Q4 tax forms for you.

Hi, I'm trying to do the same as filmdom. Would I add the amounts to payroll anywhere? Like, would I add to Company Contributions each time I run payroll? Because that doesn't seem to take out additional income tax. Or ask payroll team to add it to my w-2, with assumption that the S Corp will take are of the payments outside of square.

This sounds like a good question for our Payroll team, @stove
