Employee contributions and deductions from pay for flexible spending arrangements (FSA) or other nontaxable benefits under a section 125 cafeteria plan, qualified transit or parking benefits (up to $270 a month), and group life insurance (for up to $50,000 of coverage) may have been excluded from IRS Form 941 Taxable Medicare wages & tips. However, pre-tax employee contributions to retirement plans are included in Taxable Medicare wages & tips and should not be added to that figure to arrive at gross pay.
