My contribution to my HSA showed on last years return but does not show on this year as a deduction. Showed as employer contribution but I made the contribution

I contributed the same amount last year. The whole amount was by me but is listed as employer contributed. Now it does not show as a deduction

It is already a "deduction", because it is not included in Box 1 of your W-2.  You and your employer's contributions both appear in Box 12 Code W on your W-2.  You do need to make sure to enter that you have carried a high-deductible plan so the contributions are not added back to your income. This can be checked in Federal Taxes > Deduction & Credits > HSA, MSA Contributions.

If the entire amount of 2023 HSA contributions appeared with code W in box 12 of your 2023 W-2 and your 2023 tax return shows a deduction on Schedule 1 line 13, you've filed an incorrect 2023 tax return and you need to amend it to remove this deduction to which you were not entitled.
