Retirement tax questions

Contributions to an HSA can appear to be taxable until you follow the steps to complete the HSA interview in TurboTax, which will then generate a completed Form 8889. Form 8889 is used to:

 

  • Report health savings account (HSA) contributions (including those made on your behalf and employer contributions).
  • Figure your HSA deduction.
  • Report distributions from HSAs.
  • Figure amounts you must include in income and additional tax you may owe if you fail to be an eligible individual.

See here for more information from the IRS about Form 8889.
