Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I assume that this contribution in 2019 was made by your employer?

 

The easiest way to fix this (you will need your employer's co-operation, but it was their mistake) is to do the following:

 

  • Ask your employer to contact the HSA custodian and ask for the return of the HSA contribution. If the contribution came from the employer, they can do this.
  • Then ask your employer for a corrected W-2.

 

If your employer or the HSA has questions about this, have them read Questions 23 and 24 in IRS Notice 2008-59.
