How do I enter my employer based contribution to my HSA? My W2 in box 12 has DD -cost of employer sponsored health coverage, not W-employer contributions. Elsewhere on my W2 explanations is a different number for cafe contributions mentioned in the explanation for the W code. Help!

HSA contributions (by your employer, or by you through your employer) require a Code W. No other code represents Health Savings Account contributions through a job.

Code DD has no impact on your tax return, as it represents your employer's share of your insurance, which is not your HSA.

If you made HSA contributions and/ or your employer did, first ensure that you see those on your paystub. If you do, you must ask your employer for a corrected W2 or an explanation. A code "W" is not created by you- it needs to be on the W2 that you receive.
