Deductions & credits

Thank you for your quick reply. Please let me add some additional details to my question.

 

I was supposed to get $1000 from my employer as an employer contribution by the end of the year 2022 for enrolling in an HSA plan and completing certain healthcare activities, however, the processing of the credits was delayed from their end. I enrolled in a Non HSA plan with the same employer in the year 2023.

Was it/Is it possible for the employer to credit my HSA account with the previous year's HSA contribution of $1000 that they missed? I have been told that since I am no longer in an HSA plan, it is not possible now. 

However, I believe that this could have been done by filing form 8889 and an updated W2 until April 15th (Tax Deadline).

Can you please provide some insights.?
