Retirement tax questions

When no longer employed and your employer continues to contribute to an HSA on your behalf, you may or may not receive a W2. However, the contributions belong on line 9 of the Form 8889 all the same. If you didn't get the W2, do the following in Turbo Tax:

  1. Go to Federal Taxes- (Personal) Deductions and Credits-Medical-1099-SA/HSA.
  2. Continue through the HSA screens until you get to Lets Enter your HSA Contributions. Make sure you enter nothing in those fields.
  3. On the screen Did your employer tell you about any other contributions? Say Yes 
  4. On the next screen, enter the contributions within Employer and Payroll not reported in Box 12
  5. Continue through the screens to describe your insurance coverage

This will complete the Form 8889 and report the contributions. You won't have a deduction, but you will properly report.
