Deductions & credits

Thanks for the follow up.

If I understand your note, your suggesting adding a "misc expense" to offset the HSA amount (Scheule A will add the "1099_SA amount" as a Misc expense, and then subtract it out on line 13b and eliminate any impact on my taxes owed). 

 

I went through the interview again as you noted, and didn't find a screen referring to adding an adjustment. 

 

Looking in turbotax-help to see if I could find how to enter an "HSA Adjustment" I found the following:

 

"The IRS won't let you deduct medical expenses paid with HSA or MSA funds. Those funds are already tax-free and deducting them as medical expenses would be double-dipping"

Any thoughts?
