Deductions & credits

Yes, in Schedule A under Medical Expenses, enter a placeholder for the medical expenses that were covered by the HSA.

 

TurboTax assumes that you enter on Schedule A all medical expenses no matter how they were paid, so the HSA reimbursements (the 1099-SA) are subtracted from the expenses entered in Schedule A.

 

Your solution is to add a Miscellaneous medical expense of $5k (in your example) with a description of "HSA covered expenses". This will increase your medical expenses to where they should be, rather than having to add each individual one.
