How do I report the cost of employer sponsored health coverage on the W2?

According to the IRS site:
“In general, the amount reported should include both the portion paid by the employer and the portion paid by the employee”.

Although the amount withheld for the employee share of health care is recorded in Procare Payroll, the employer’s contribution is not, therefore the amount must be manually entered. As a starting point, you could Map the health care withholding to box 12. This would give you the employee’s share; then, manually add to it your employer contribution.
