Deductions & credits
So your code DD amount is equal to 12 times $340 plus whatever your employer put in towards the premium? That is, the $200/month is part of the amount reported with code DD, right?
If so, then let's do this...
- Go into your HSA interview. Indicate on the first screen that you have an HSA (if it's not already checked).
- Proceed through the interview.
- On the screen "Let's enter [your name] HSA contributions, enter the amount of after-tax contributions you made ("what I put in on my own after tax I do not do it via payroll deduction. ").
- Continue to the next screen which says "Did your employer tell you about any other contributions?".
- Answer YES and you will see three additional lines.
- On the bottom line ("Employer and payroll contributions not reported in Box 12 of your W-2"), enter the $2,400 (or whatever the exact amount of the pass-through is).
The result of these steps is that the $2,400 HSA pass-through amount will show up on line 9 (Employer contributions made to your HSAs for 2022) on your 8889, but it will not affect the rest of your return, because this amount was already removed from your income when if was part of the code DD amount (which is removed from Wages in box 1 before your employer printed the W-2). Yes, you contributed it, but since your employer already removed it from income as part of code DD, you should not try to deduct it separately.
Make sense?
