Deductions & credits

Kleed is saying that his Box 1 value was not reduced by the  $5,250 that he contributed to his HSA. My W-2 is the same, no reduction in Box 1 for MY contributions I made to the HSA (ONLY the value for the 401K contributions reduces the wage value in box 1). But box 12 indicates the full amount I contributed as well as my employer. So, if I put in the amount from box 12(W), TT can't correct for the difference between what I contributed and my employer contributed. Should I ignore the number in box 12W and, only enter the value my employer actually contributed on my behalf.
