Do you know if it is any different for filing this year? I am trying to do my taxes this year for the first time on TurboTax. I an a 2% shareholder in an S corp and I have an HSA. I can see what the accountant did last year, I know I need to add the HSA contributions to line 25, and I cannot get the same results as described. Is it different this year? (I see no updates to this technique)
You wrote "You will enter the HSA contributions on the “Let’s enter your HSA contributions” screen in the HSA interview (Federal->Deductions & Credits->Medical->HSA MSA Contributions) – see below. You will enter your contribution on the second line (where the $2,000 is), because that’s where after-tax contributions go."
The only place I can find that accepts any input at all in the HSA area is called "Let's Get the Numbers from your 1099-SA" There's a box 1 for Gross distribution, a Box 2 - Called Earnings on Excess Contributions, A Box 3 is a pull down menu, and Box 4 wants a FMV date of death, etc. So which is the "second line?" Am I looking at the right page? Anything I add to Box 2 causes my return to plummet.
Then I tried to put information into the section 12 of my W-2 (and section 14 as per another answer) and nothing budges.
