?Can my employer is using Code W for 12 for W2 which throws my entire 12 month HSA in as income. My CA taxes went from a refund of $4 to owing $790. I funded my HSA.

Yes, your HSA contribution is considered income by the state.

If you funded your HSA from your wages, your contributions (together with your employer's) are reported in box 12 code W of your form W-2.

Your contribution is already subtracted in Wages reported in box 1 of your form W-2, so they are not taxed at the federal evel..

Ca does not allow the HSA deduction and you add them back to be taxed.
