My company taxes me on the value of my domestic partner’s medical benefits - can I claim that somewhere?

billdyer76 asked:


When a company grants medical (dental and vision as well) benefits to domestic partners, it adds the value of that benefit as if it was paid in cash to each paycheck. So, if you make 10$ per hour and you work 40 hours (400$) and your company values the benefit being granted to your partner as 100$ - you will be taxed as if you were paid 500$ - even though you only receive 400. I’m just wondering if this can be claimed or credited somewhere when I file this year…

    The entire year or didnt live with you might be able to claim your dependent on your medical premiums as medical expenses that are.
