First, was this HSA contribution reported in box 12 with a code of W on your W-2?
If so, then the amount on line 2 should be zero - "do not include employer contributions" which includes anything on your W-2.
If the total of $12,400 was reported in box 12 on your W-2, then line 9 should have 12,400.
Line 13 is not correct if the whole 12,400 was in box 12 on your W-2.
So, two questions:
1. The 10,600 that was "deducted" from your paycheck - was it reported on your W-2 in box 12? What was in box 12? 10,600? 1,800? 12,400?
2. Was the 10,600 removed by your employer from Wages in boxes 1, 3, and 5 on your W-2 (you can't tell from looking at your W-2, you have to ask your employer)?
Employee contributions made by means of payroll deductions are NOT considered "personal contributions" and so should not be entered on the second line on the "Let's enter [name]'s HSA contributions" screen as a "personal" contribution, because it is already in the first line as an "employer contribution" (which means only that it was reported correctly on your W-2).
Let me know what your employer actually did. Please put at the bottom of the post @ BILLM223 (without the space in between) so I will be notified of your response.
