I estimated an individual HSA contribution to see what difference it would make. I cannot get the entry to delete or to change when I do that section over again.

The dynamic nature of the TurboTax interview means that it is sometimes difficult or impossible to see a screen again that you once entered something on.

Rather than repeatedly trolling through the HSA interview, trying to find that screen, it will be faster to just delete your HSA data and start over again.

To delete your HSA data, please do the following:

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***

3. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.

*** Online ***

3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form

4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)

5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually

6. go back and redo the entire HSA interview. Be sure to go all the way to the end of the interview.
