Do I get a credit or deduction if my child is disabled?   If your child is older than 12 and you need to pay someone to take care of him while you work, you can say he is disabled and you can still get the childcare credit on your federal return.   Or if he is 19 or older you may still be able to claim him as a qualifying child dependent on your federal return.   Aside from those things, there is no federal tax advantage to saying that your child is disabled.   Your state tax laws might be different.     And.....if your child's doctor recommended any sort of special education, tutoring, special needs classes, etc. those can be entered as a medical expense if you are itemizing deductions and incurred any out of pocket expenses.

On the Let's Import your tax info screen, click on the Change how I enter my form On the How would you like to upload your 1098? click on the Type it in myself box on the bottom.

Yes, money you contributed on your own is deductible. I am assuming you earned money from the insurance company, and then directly contributed it on your own. If the insurance contributed it on your behalf, it is not taxable, but do not enter it as a personal contribution.   Here is how you can enter personal contributions to an HSA in TurboTax Online:   Click on Federal Taxes,  Deduction & Credits Choose "add/edit" HSA, MSA Contributions You will see a page titled "Your HSA Summary" which will show any deductions already computed from your W-2   Choose Edit, Check the box for HSA, Continue You'll now see a screen that says "Here's what we have so far" with the information from the 1099-SA, choose "Edit." After the entry screen for the amount distributed, double check the number is accurate, continue and when it asks "Did you spend your HSA money on medical expenses only?" answer "Yes", if accurate.  Choose done and continue until you get to a screen that says "Let's enter your HSA contributions" In the box "Any contributions you personally made (not through your employer)" Here is where you enter the amounts you did NOT contribute through paycheck withholding.
