Deductions & credits

It depends on where you are correcting the HSA date. If you are getting unexpected results, I recommend deleting what is in the system and revisiting the HSA Section.

 

To begin the process, start with deleting:

  • From the left menu, select Tax Tools
  • Tools
  • Delete a Form
    • Delete all Health Savings Account related forms: Form 8889-T and if you are filing jointly Form 8889-S

Next, go back to Form W-2 and verify that Box 12 Code W is entered.

 

Another option: Go to Less Common Income to check for any extraneous details:

  • From the left menu, select Federal
  • On the Wages & Income screen, scroll down from All income to Less Common Income, Click Show More
  • Go to 1099-SA, HSA, MSA and click Revisit

For help in entering the HSA Contributions and Distributions:

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? has a link included for Where do I enter my HSA Contribution?

Click here for steps for the 1099-SA: Where do I enter my 1099-SA?

 

TurboTax will automatically gather the details from your input and populate Form 8889 to report the contributions and any distributions for 2019.
