Enter the HSA interview (Deductions & Credits->Medical->1099-SA, HSA, MSA) and look for the screen "Let's enter [name]'s HSA contributions". The second line is for "personal" HSA contributions, that is, contributions made directly to the HSA, not through an employer - even for contributions made up to April 15, 2026.

 

Some taxpayers have been unable to see this screen, so I advise them to do an HSA Reset (see below) to remove all HSA data so they can start the HSA over again from scratch.

 

HSA RESET

***Reset***

 

1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies)

2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen)

 

*** Desktop/Windows***

 

3. Go to the upper right and click on Forms, and 

4. Select the desired form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)). Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form’s screen.


 

*** Desktop/Mac***


 

3. Switch to Forms Mode by selecting the Forms icon.

4. From the menu, select the form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)) you want to remove (if you don't see it, select Open Form at the top). From the Forms menu, select Remove [form name].

 

*** Online ***

 

3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form 

4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)

 

5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually

6. go back and redo the entire HSA interview....
