Deductions & credits

1. Entering the 1099-SA showing distribution for qualified medical expenses (I assume they were), will not increase your tax tax at all.

 

2. Entering the employer contribution as Other Income will increase your tax a little, while entering the HSA contribution will reduce your tax the same amount.

 

This process will NOT result in you paying extra tax. The $214 difference is spurious.

 

I am sorry that I cannot explain this so that you understand.
