Concept: Cost of Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage: Box 12DD (USA)

If you have an employer match or flexible benefits that apply to a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), add these pay component groups to your earnings and deductions:
  • Section 125 Cafeteria Plan (for earnings or deductions).
  • FSA Employer Match (for earnings or deductions).
  • FSA Employee Deduction.
In addition, map any applicable deductions to Box 12DD.
Workday then determines whether to include the employer's FSA match in the Box 12DD amount.

Example

In these year-end W-2 results, Workday determines to include an employer's FSA match in the Box 12DD amount:
  • Worker A's Total FSA (2,400 USD) is less than the 125 Cafeteria Plan (3,540 USD). Therefore, Workday doesn't include the employer's FSA match in the Box 12DD box.
  • Worker B's Total FSA (2,400 USD) is more than the 125 Cafeteria Plan (1,980 USD). Therefore, Workday includes the employer FSA match in the Box 12DD (Medical EE [600 USD] + ER Match to FSA [1,200 USD] = 1,800 USD).
