Box 12 W-2 codes.?

Question

What code do I use for payments to my AFLAC insurance plan and for a vision insurance plan. These amounts show up in box 12, but our bookkeeper never puts a code in the box and doesn't really know which one I should use. These are pre-tax $, designed to reduce my take home amount, and thus lower my taxable income. I can't find anything that matches these on the IRS site.
This is the only thing I have left to figure out so I can file my taxes. Help!

Answer 1

If these are pretax deductions, they reduced the amount reported in box 1 as wages, tips and other compensation. There is no need to report them on the 1040.

If they are post-tax deductions, they are memo amounts and still are not reported on your tax return.
