did you get to the section for the HSA form 8889? until then Tutbotaxx thinks the contributions reported on your w-2 are an excess. To not have an excess you must either be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (no FSA, no medicare, no other full coverage health insurance that isn't a high deductible plan ). for every month of the year. There is a special rule if you were not covered every month by a HDHP but you were on December 1st that allows a full year's contribution. On the Turbotax screens for the HSA, you must indicate the type of coverage you and the months you had it. Do not enter your payroll deduction as personally made. your deduction comes from the fact that your gross wages in box 1 of your w-2 was reduced by your HSA contributions,
to get to the form go to the deduction and credits section
