Retirement tax questions
The code W amount in box 12 on your W-2 is called the "employer contribution" and it is the sum of whatever contributions your employer made and whatever contributions you made by payroll deduction.
California uses the same definition, even though California does not permit the deduction of HSA contributions either through the employer or made directly to the HSA by the taxpayer.
So you will see the code W amount in box 12 of your W-2 added back to California state income, to eliminate that "deduction".
