HSA distribution refund deposited in HSA account

[vikrams]

Hi! I have some money in my old HSA account which I used for qualified medical expenses last year. I did not have an HSA coverage last year. I received a refund from a provider that went directly to the payment card i.e. the HSA card. Now, I received a form 5498-SA with the refunded amount as a contribution and the same amount is included in the 1099-SA also as distribution. How do I file it correctly with the tax returns? Please advise. Thanks!

To enter the reimbursement to your HSA account in TurboTax, follow these steps:

1. Click Wage & Income
2. Scroll down to Less Common Income, click show more
3. Click Start/Revisit next to 1099-SA, HSA, MSA
4. Enter the Information for the 1099-SA

Form 5498-SA reports contributions to your Health Savings Account (HSA), Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA.

You don't enter this form into TurboTax; your account custodian only sends it to you for informational purposes. We recommend that you keep it with your tax return records.

Form 5498-SA

Contact the HSA to obtain corrected Forms 1099-SA and 5498-SA.  Because they accepted a return of mistaken distribution, they are required to reduce the amount in box 1 of the code-1 Form 1099-SA by the amount returned and they are not to show it at all on Form 5498.

In which box of the Form 5498 did they report the returned amount?
