New requirements to report Employer health care cost on W2 forms

[trekbear]

In the next year 2013 employers are required to list the employer health care cost to each employee on the w2 forms. Is there going to be a place where we can add this without affecting the employee's payroll numbers. I must go in box 12 with a DD code. As of now there is no way I have found to put this information in. With over 200 employees I would not have to edit each w2 before printing it. I have all the deduction boxes in use already. Any ideas?

It can already be done with the W2 Add-on for PayWindow. W2Express is the add-on and you can see more at this page in the help file:

This add-on allows you to edit the W2 Forms, print them on plain paper and submit them electronically.

I use the w2 express as I must efile my w2's to social security. Would I have to go to each employee's w2 and add the employer health care cost? That is a very time consuming way at a very busy time of the year.

Yes since the data is not in PayWindow you would have to manually enter it for each employee.
