The FSA deductions are reported either in box 10 (for a dependent care FSA, as in your case) or in box 14, as information for the taxpayer for other types of FSAs.<BR /> <BR /> In particular, the amount with the code W in box 12 is considered a contribution to your HSA. You are required to file a form 8889 if you have contributions to or distributions from your "HSA".<BR /> <BR /> You do not want the IRS to think that you have an HSA if you don't, because if you did not file a form 8889, they will ask you about it. And if you do file a form 8889, well, you have no need to file a form 8889, if, in fact, you don't have an HSA.<BR /> <BR /> Ask your employer to issue you a corrected W-2.<BR /></P><P></P> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 04:34:09 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/an-entry-of-code-w-in-box-12-of-your-w-2-indicates-to-t/01/103559#M12925 BMcCalpin 2019-06-01T04:34:09Z
