Deductions & credits

Not helpful. I need to know the EMPLOYER contribution, not mine.
Why? Under the tax code, all contributions made via payroll deduction are "employer" contributions, whether they come from your salary or an employer match. The tax treatment is that you agree to a voluntary salary reduction, and the employer makes the contributions for you.
There is no tax reason to know the breakdown. It doesn't matter to the HSA bank, and it doesn't matter on your tax return. The only contributions that are separately deductible are contributions you made directly to the HSA bank by check or deposit from your after-tax funds. You don't list your voluntary payroll deductions any place except box 12.
If you are just curious, you will have to ask your employer.
