Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I uploaded my W-2 but it didn't pick up the amount in Box 12a, so how can I get that amount entered into TurboTax? Does it matter? I'd think it would help

Always always check the information that entered when you import a tax document.  If something is missing, enter it by hand---just key it in.    Or....did you already e-file and notice it later?

I haven’t filed yet. I just can’t seem to find/figure out how to get back to the W-2 to correct the amount of my HSA contributions. Everything else pulled over correctly but nothing shows for Box 12 and on my W2 there’s an amount in that box

Please go to 

  • Federal (on the left side-bar with TurboTax Online)
  • Wages & Income
  • Wages and Salaries (Form W-2) 
  • Update

Select EDIT for the W-2 with the missing information 

If you are not able to edit Box 12, delete that W-2 and re-enter it manually (type it in) 

 

If you still need assistance, please tell us the product you are using, Desktop or Online
