Where in TT does one enter $1,000 HSA catch-up contributions? TT does not seem to guide users to make this contribution.

 There is no special distinction for a catch-up HSA contribution. At age 55 and greater, your limit is simply higher. A HSA contribution is characterized solely as either after tax or pretax.

Thanks. This would be a useful feature for Intuit to build into TurboTax--adding an interview panel that recognizes the age of the filer and prompts him or her to add $1,000 to their HSA contribution if they qualify and wish to do so. I try to max out our pre-tax contributions, but found out about the catch-up contribution only by accident last year. In its quest to find the greatest number of deductions and credits for taxpayers, TurboTax should add this as a standard feature within the interview section.

So after talking to an online TurboTax Live expert (who was pretty green, but willing to try to track down the answer), the best guess was, as you suggested, that you simply add $1K to your contribution amount if you want to include the catch-up contribution--assuming you qualify. I think TurboTax can do a better job on this, to be honest.

They do ask us for suggestions to improve the product so I will share these comments with our programmers.  Thank you for taking the time.

I am going to add the above in the answer so if others have same issue as you they will see it.  Thank you

TurboTax will know the age from the Personal Information section when date of birth is entered.
