Sage HRMS and the Affordable Care Act

Sage HRMS requires employer-paid benefits to be set up as deductions and mapped to W-2 Employer-Provided Health Care.

Set up employer contributions as an Earnings/Deductions category labelled 'Benefit' and assign the W-2 mapping to 'Employer Provided Health Care'.

You can use Transaction History to enter any amounts missed during payroll throughout the year.

Report the health care coverage value in Box 12 of Form W-2, using Code DD to identify the amount. Review Form W-2 requirements on www.irs.gov.

 NOTE: There's no reporting on the Form W-3 of the totals of these amounts.
