Retirement tax questions

OK, let's look at your W-2. The amount in box 12 with a code of W is the SUM of what your employer contributed plus what you contributed by payroll deduction. So when you say that you contributed $3,573 was this the code W amount or was the code W amount $4,573?

 

Did you say that the code W amount was $3,573, but TurboTax told you that the excess contributions were over $4,150? That doesn't make sense.

Please go back through the HSA interview and go to the Summary - this should look like this:

 

Tell us the numbers and we will be able to make sense of this for you.
