Deductions & credits

1. What was the interview question that wasn't clear?

 

2. How were the HSA contributions made? Through your employer (i.e. code W in box 12 on your W-2?

 

3. "Regardless, if I delete form 8889 to amend, my taxable amount for PA, for which my W2 does not remove the HSA "cafeteria plan" contribution, goes up." Are you saying that the box 16 amount on your W-2 does not match the box 1 amount?

 

4. How do you plan on removing the 8889 to amend? What are you planning on doing?

 

5. Was the HSA contribution part of the code W amount in box 12, and did you also say that you made a "personal" contribution of the same amount? Yes, this would need to be fixed, but on the federal level, not the state.

 

Please add some context here. What did you do and what are you trying to do, and what does PA have to do with HSAs (it's normally invisible to PA returns)?
