Question

My W2 has for cells for Box 12, which references my HSA contributions, should I add all 4 together for the 2025 payroll contributions?

Your W-2 has boxes 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d. These boxes are independent of each other. The meaning of each box depends on the letter code that is with it - so code W means that this dollar amount is an HSA contribution made through the employer.

So, only the code W amount is for payroll contributions to your HSA. NOTE, once you have entered your W-2, then you should not enter the employer contributions anywhere else; even though they appear in the HSA interview, they can't be changed there.
