I have HSA contributions every year. On the tax break page it shows my $2,600 amount for 2021 but on the 2022 column it shows $0 is this a software problem?

The software collected the amount but doesn't show it on the tax break column like last year

how are you making the contributions - through your employer or directly?  through your employer, you get no HSA  deduction schedule 1 line 13 because your wages box 1 of the w-2 are reduced so that's where you get the deduction. if directly are you on medicare or don't have a high deductible health plan for 2022?  deduction limited or no deduction. we can't see your entries. so look at form 8889 to see the calculation. still problems.  contact support. they can review the form. the deduction if allowed should be on line 13

The numbers you see for 2021 and 2022 on the Deductions & Credits are not real tax numbers. but are sometimes used to reflect input. But since these numbers can change in size and meaning, you should always check your output tax forms to confirm that your tax numbers are correct.

 

For example, HSA deductions can be dollars excluded from your Wages, or contributions made directly to your HSA custodian. There is no way to mark here which one is intended since both are found in this section. Please just check your tax forms.
