HSA distribution refund deposited in HSA account

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!

HSA distribution refund deposited in HSA account

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.

HSA distribution refund deposited in HSA account

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?
