topic W2 box 12 code w is being taxed in Get your taxes done using TurboTax https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/w2-box-12-code-w-is-being-taxed/01/78069#M33271 My W2 has a code W (HSA contributions) in box 12. When this amount changes my refund amount changes as well. This should not be taxable income. I haven't gotten my 1099 SA yet so I can only assume that is the reason it's being taxed right now, but I've never had the issue before this year. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a way to fix it?

Until you complete that exercise, the program has no way to know if your HSA contributions are allowed.
