Health Savings Account Form 8889

I got another form in the mail today and I already sent my taxes in and they were approved.  I am trying to amend, but I can't find where to get Form 8889 for my health savings account info.

TurboTax creates and completes the form 8889 based on your input.

Your input comes from code "W" in box 12 of your W-2 and any 1099-SA forms that you receive and enter into TurboTax.

Go to Federal Taxes->Deductions & Credits->Medical and enter the "HSA MSA contribution" interview. One of the first things that you are asked for after saying that you have an HSA is the information from your 1099-SA.

The information in this section will populate form 8889, which is how contributions to and distributions from your HSA are reported.

Please be sure to go all the way to the end of the HSA interview before exiting.
