Medicare Total and Taxable Amounts will automatically be increased by the Taxable Benefit Amount so Medicare tax will need to be recorded and paid. If the Medicare withholding was paid by the employee (1.45%) and employer (1.45%), adjustments must be made to the Amount Withheld and Board Amount of Payroll Item.

If Medicare is fully board paid (Pickup), then an Adjustment should be made to the Board's Pickup Amount of Payroll Item (1.45%) only.  This will update both Medicare Pickup and Medicare on the Employee's W2.
