Retirement tax questions

It does not matter whether the contribution actually came from your paycheck or from your employer.  It is all counted together toward the contribution limit of the HSA.  

 

When it is reported on your W-2, the description sounds like the employer is the one who made the contribution, but it is really trying to say that the contribution was processed through the employer's payroll system.  There is not a distinction between the part that came from your wages and the part that came from the employer.

 

As long as the total amount shown on your W-2 in box 12 with code W is accurate, then you are good.
