This is probably a dumb question. So, I have X-dollars I had my employer withhold from my paycheck in pre-tax dollars towards my HSA account. Nowhere in this process were the words "cafeteria plan."
So, when I fill out form 8889 line 2, I think I'm understanding "cafeteria plan" is probably not the best term used here. I think what is being asked is to include all non-prex tax dollar on this line, ie taxed HSA contributions.
If that is the case then my X-dollars of pre-tax should NOT go on this line. Only post-tax contributions I have made towards my HSA account should be on this line. And since I didn't make taxed dollar contributions, I would put zero.
Is my understanding correct or did I miss something?
