My employer did not report any amount in box 12W but I did have employee and employer contributions. When I enter the amount of the contributions in this box it is not counted towards the HSA deduction in Form 8889, thus I get 0 HSA deduction. Is this correct? I'm adding the amount under 'Other contributions made by me' so that it populates in Line 2 of form 8889, since Line 9 (where employer contributions from box 12W of the W-2 should populate) is zero. This way I get the HSA contribution deduction. Is this correct?
