Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is correct.  Since the Health Savings Account (HSA) was funded through payroll deductions using tax-free money, it is not deducted on your tax return.  

 

If you had made any additional contributions to the HSA account on your own with after-tax money, then that amount would be entered into your return as an additional contribution and it would be reported on Form 8889 line 2 and also Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 13.  

 

Be aware that if you have not already reached your maximum HSA contribution limit that you can make a contribution to the account for 2022 before the tax due date and take the deduction on your 2022 return.
