Use the following steps to go to the Health Savings Account (HSA) section of your return. This is where you will find the place to enter contributions that you made directly to your HSA.
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “hsa” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to hsa”
- Click on the blue “Jump to hsa” link and enter your information
These contributions will then be reported on Form 1040 Schedule 1 Line 12. This information is then carried to Form 1040 Line 8a. These line numbers are for the 2019 tax return. The line number you referenced in your question is for the 2017 tax return, but the method to enter the information is the same.
