I appreciate your efforts. I was confused that the distribution from the HSA was exactly the same as your former employer's contribution to your HSA. This is not wrong, but it is unusual...except in your case 😉
Two things should go together:
1. Entering the HSA contribution from your employer as Miscellaneous Income, as I noted above.
2. Entering the HSA contribution from your employer as a PERSONAL contribution, as I noted above..
When you do both of the things, and delete anything else you have done in this area, there is no way that your tax will increase, because step #1 will increase your taxable income, and step #2 will reduce it right back down.
And please don't watch the Refund Meter too closely - what matters is the final answer...
