i cannot enter the amount of after tax contributions for HSA in Turbotax deluxe desktop 2025.  both interviews on the Wages & Income and Deductions and Credits are exactly the same and i cannot add the amount anywhere.  I've seen some of the suggestions you've given and tried them all to no avail.  This appears to be acommon problem with other users.  Please help me enter this and also, FIX the problem.  I want to file my taxes but this is preventing me from doing so.

There is only one HSA interview; for reasons I don't know, the product was coded so that it could be entered from both the Income section and the Deductions section.

As you have seen elsewhere, the screen "Let's enter [your name]'s HSA contributions" is not showing for some taxpayers, for reason that I have not been able to discover yet. This screen is where you would enter the "personal" HSA contributions.

Have you done the "HSA Reset"? Be sure to do every appropriate step...

HSA RESET

***Reset***

1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies)

2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen)

*** Desktop/Windows***

3. Go to the upper right and click on Forms, and 

4. Select the desired form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)). Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form’s screen.
