Deductions & credits
Which screen "above" are you referring to?
No matter who contributes to your HSA (note: your spouse could have her own, which is separate from yours), you must report these contributions in the HSA interview on the screen entitled "Let's enter [name]'s HSA contribution", which is the screen shot on rjs' post above.
On this screen, the second line is normally "Any contributions you personally made". Despite the wording, this is where you would enter contributions from your spouse (or from anyone else in the world, for that matter).
Please do NOT enter it directly in the 8889.
1. Making overrides in Forms mode may cancel your Tax Accuracy Guarantee.
2. Making overrides in Forms mode may prevent you from e-filing.
3. Even many tax professionals don't know how to enter values on the 8889 without making errors.
