Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You thought that you didn't need to have a Form 8889 to report my HSA contributions? 

Is this something that I need to get from my HSA trustee?

 

If you didn't make any out of pocket contributions that weren't included on your W-2.  You will not need any other documentation.

 

You thought that when you file my 2021 taxes through TurboTax, that you just need my employer's W-2 to report that I have contributed to an HSA in 2021?  

Is this something that TurboTax is going to help me file once I file my 2021 taxes? 

 

Yes, TurboTax will handle this. but we always recommend that you check your return for accuracy.

 

These are the W-2 codes that you have on your form.

  • C — Taxable costs of group-term life insurance over $50,000 (included in W-2 boxes 1,3 (up to Social Security wages base), and box 5.

  • D — Elective deferral under a 401(k) cash or arrangement plan. This includes a SIMPLE 401(k) arrangement.

  • W — Employer contributions (including amounts the employee elected to contribute using a Section 125 cafeteria plan) to your health savings account (HSA).

  • DD — Cost of employer-sponsored health coverage.
