@finances12 TT is asking for your DIRECT contributions. that would EXCLUDE what is included on your W-2.

Direct contributions are any additional monies beyond what is deducted from your paycheck.

p.s. the box 12 HSA code is the "w"

Form W-2, Box 12, Code W shows HSA contributions made through your employer's payroll (employer and employee contributions). This amount should carry over automatically from Box 12 of your W-2 to the federal Form 8889 (Health Savings Accounts).

Form 1099-SA shows your HSA distributions.

Here is a TurboTax article on HSAs for more information:
