    Has anyone setup Sage 100 to deal with payroll reporting for HSA (Health Spending Account). My brief Google of the topic seems to indicate that employer contributions would be box 12 , code W. And my query of the Sage KB uncovers troubling article (only one comes up when you search HSA) which leads me to believe that in order to file the W2 forms at year end you must manually populate box 12 with the W code and related $$. Has anyone done this? Customer is asking if Sage supports HSA and I guess technically the answer is Yes, but you have to manually key the amounts to eFiling. via Sage KB: Box 12 ""W"" code amounts do not show on W2 Products Sage 100 Description Box 12 ""W"" code amounts do not show in W2 grid Box 12 W code amounts do not pull into eFiling Box 12 W code amounts are missing from W2 Negative deduction amounts do not show on W2 form HSA Employer or Employee payments do not show on W2 Cause Negative amounts cannot be reported on W2 form Resolution This is working as designed because negative amounts cannot be reported on the W2 form. We understand that there is currently no other way in Sage 100 to setup HSA Employee & Employer payments other than entering a negative deduction amount in data entry. Sage engineering & Aatrix are currently reviewing this enhancement to be possibly considered to be included in a future release of Sage 100 Possible Workarounds: Manually enter Box 12 W column and amounts in the W2 grid - see related article below -OR- Import amounts into Box 12 ""W"" column in W2 grid - see related article below

    A death by a thousand inactions... Dependent care deductions do not flow to the dependent care annual summary box either. Must be manually adjusted. I wonder if PR v2.0 is going to address these weaknesses or do you have to go with Sage PR services for a ""modern"" application? Seeing is believing is the Sage rule of thumb.

    Now that they've tripled maintenance for PR, I'm sure they will pour more resources into improving the payroll customer experience.

    Attached are instructions for how we've been handling it. I haven't run into issues with the code W not pulling into eFiling as a column. Maybe that Sage article is old.

    Not positive but could swear the Sage KB article was dated 1/2016. Thanks - this is very very helpful.

    The Sage KB ([here](https://support.na.sage.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=72371&sliceId=1&cmd=displayKC&dialogID=162590&docType=kc&isLoadPublishedVer=&stateId=162592&docTypeID=DT_Article&ViewedDocsListHelper=com.kanisa.apps.common.BaseViewedDocsListHelperImpl)) shows 1/2016 but sadly Sage have stopped relating the KB to a specific version of the software so it's impossible to tell whether it's related to an older version or to the current release.
