Deductions & credits

Generally your payroll department would add back pretax items like HSA contributions to your NJ wages when your W-2 is printed.  You can confirm that with your Company payroll department.

 

If your employer added the HSA contributions back to state income in box 16 of your W-2 , then you do not need to add this amount on your NJ return.

 

For federal purposes, HSA contributions made through the employer, are removed from wages in box 1,box 3 and box 5 of your federal wages.
