no.unless the premiums are included in box 1 of the client's W-2. Also, don't include any other medical and dental expenses paid by the plan unless the amount paid is included in box 1 of the client's W-2. for example, any amount over $5k for sec 125 plan should be included in Boxes 1, 3, and 5, as ?wages,? ?social security wages? and ?Medicare wages in general as you know, Pretax deductions are not shown as taxable wages on your client?s W-2 because they are tax exempt.

Under IRS guidelines, pretax medical contributions are excluded from fed income tax,fica taxes. State and local income tax rules for pretax medical deductions vary.
