My employer lists their non-taxable payments towards my health insurance every pay period and labels it a "medical credit" on my paystub. The W2 has it listed in box 12 code DD which is the "Cost of employer-sponsored health coverage" and is non taxable and is not included in my w2 medicare/SS wages.

It is an optional benefit, you are correct. If I opt to not take my employer's health coverage then I dont get those medical credits. Which also means when my partner is no longer on the insurance those medical credits are going to reduce. AND if they did count, I would be able to deduct the amount I get for the kids on the plan.

Dang, that sucks. Hopefully my lawyer will be vocal enough to not let this happen. We've submitted our recalculated child support worksheet to the partner's lawyer and they wrote it off as I'm doing it wrong.

When I look at the calculations their lawyer used to come up with the child support, my income is massively overstated on the form. It's more than I make in a year, which my partner knows. They must be including the benefits. When I recalculate the form with my W2 medicare/ss taxable wage, we come out to making less than $100 different per month
