Do HSA contributions lower income for Affordable Care Act/Obamacare?

I have a question regarding HSA contributions, specifically those that show up on line 12 of my W-2.


Do these HSA contributions lower my income for the purposes of qualifying for ACA/Obamacare?

 

Since these contributions appear in line 12 of the W-2, are they considered MY contributions or MY EMPLOYER'S contributions?  I don't know if that is the right question, but I am seeing those two terms used interchangeably in discussions.

 

I just don't want to possibly go over the threshold for qualifying for ACA since I am borderline.

 

Thank you!
