HSA contribution is under my spouse's W-2, but the program has it under my name and I am unable to correct this. It's grayed out.

If the HSA contribution from your spouse's W-2 is mistakenly showing under your name and the field is grayed out, TurboTax ties Box 12 Code W entries directly to the W-2 form. This means you cannot manually change the HSA contribution's assigned person without correcting the W-2 entry itself.

To fix this in TurboTax Online:
1. Go to the Wages & Income section.
2. Locate the W-2 form currently entered under your name and delete it.
3. Re-enter the W-2 under your spouse's profile exactly as it appears on their W-2 form, including the HSA amount in Box 12 with Code W.
4. Save the entry and verify the HSA contribution now appears correctly under your spouse.

This will properly assign the HSA contribution to your spouse as reported on their W-2.
