HSA Contributions - Box 12, Code W

[Burke]

I just received an email on this issue from the IRS:

"Because 2% shareholders of S Corporations are not treated as employees for this purpose and the value of the health benefits are includible in the shareholder's income, the amount is not properly reported on Line 12 (code W) as an 'employer contribution.'"

So there you have it from the horse's mouth. In direct contradiction with NATP's information. I am forwarding this to them.

thanks

For the update. Guess I have been doing it correctly.
