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)
