How do I edit an employee W2 to include employee health insurance? Need to add the box 12DD but QB won't let me do it?

I'm glad to assist you in reporting health insurance on your W-2s, @tandtoz.

Our payroll services don't automatically report employer-sponsored health insurance on W-2s. Depending on your payroll service, you can contact us to add it or take additional steps while filing your W-2s.

If you have automatic tax payments and filings turned on, you can add your health insurance amounts from December 4, 2023, through January 1, 2024. However, if you have automatic tax payments and filings turned off, you can add your health insurance amounts starting December 2 until you file them with the government.

To add the health insurance amounts, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll Taxes.
2. From there, select Filings and choose Resources.
3. Click on W-2s and select Edit Box 12/13 on W-2 Copies B, C, & 2 (employee).
4. Enter the dollar amount for each employee:
   • Use Box 12DD for the coverage you provide your employees.
   • Use Box 12FF for reimbursements you give your employees.
5. Hit Submit.

this amount should be automatically added.  The amount is auto deducted through the software, where do I find the employee amount to manually enter?  If this is required it shouldn't be something an employer had to manually add to a w2.  I am not able to find how to edit through the instructions given.  

I would like to know how to do this in desktop, please.
