Deductions & credits

No, HSA withdrawals are not taxable when used for medical expenses.  Let's revisit the HSA entry and make sure everything looks correct.

 

  • Click on Federal Taxes,  Deduction & Credits
  • Choose "add/edit" HSA, MSA Contributions
  • You will see a page titled "Your HSA Summary" which will show any deductions already computed from your W-2  
  • Choose Edit, Check the box for HSA, Continue 
  • You'll now see a screen that says "Here's what we have so far" with the information from the 1099-SA, choose "Edit"
  • After the entry screen for the amount distributed, approximately $6,000, continue and when it asks, "Did you spend your HSA money on medical expenses only?" Answer "Yes." 
  • Choose done and continue until you get to a screen that says "Let's enter your HSA contributions"
  • In the box "Any contributions you personally made (not through your employer)" DON'T enter the amounts you contributed through paycheck withholding. It has already been considered through your W-2 entry.
  • Continue on until you are asked if you were covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) in 2024? Answer "yes" and beneath that, indicate you had a family plan all year, if you did.
