W-2 line 12a REQUIRED to be entered on tax return?
On a W-2, line 12a, there is a capital W (re: HSA) with a small amount in the box (<$500). I *should* be able to file a simple/free tax return, yet am being stopped with programs wanting to force (not suggest) me to upgrade due to this box. While I can manually enter the W-2 to get around the program reading that box, I don't want to do anything illegal or wrong on my W-2. I'm also not willing to pay for a deluxe or premium tax return for something so small and it doesn't even impact my tax return in any way (other than charging for upgraded filing).
Am I legally required to enter the small amount from line 12a (capital code W for HSA) if I manually enter my W-2?
Thank you!
