<p>My parent has "cost of non-taxable health insurance provided by employer" (W-2 Form Code DD). Do I need to include that in my FAFSA?</p>
<p>Thanks ahead of time.</p>
<p>If the FAFSA doesn’t ask the question, then you don’t need to provide the info. (and, as far as I know, they don’t ask. This is something new added to the W2 this year. High-cost health insurance may (or will) be taxable in the future, but it isn’t yet.)</p>
<p>There is a section that asks for untaxed pensions and income. It says look in W-2 box 12a- 12d, Code such and such. I’m not sure if they’re also talking about health insurance. It seems pretty unreasonable to reduce my aid because my parent’s employer provided insurance.</p>
<p>How about code W—Employer contributions to a health savings account (HSA).
</p>
<p>4kids…the question was about employee health insurance contributions, not HSA. Two different things…and some folks can actually have both. They can have health insurance benefits AND an HSA (either employee funded HSA or employer funded HSA, or a combo).</p>
<p>Has the mandate that health insurance benefits paid by the employer are taxable taken place? I didn’t think that had happened, but I could be VERY wrong!</p>
<p>No that amount is not taxable and no, don’t report code DD amounts on fafsa.</p>
<p>The amount on the W-2 is a new item added this year as a result of health care reform. Employers must begin putting the value of the health care benefits they provide for their employees on the W-2 — eventually, all employers will be required to do this. It’s supposedly only for informational purposes. As far as FAFSA is concerned, this is not something that will ever be on the FAFSA … it’s not income.</p>
