I need to deduct my one-time annual self HSA contribution. Form 8889 won't appear or let me deduct this contribution I made post tax. How do I enter this?

The Health Savings Account (HSA) section of TurboTax includes information about distributions from your HSA as well as contributions to the HSA.  

 

Use the following steps to go to that section of your return:

 

  • Go to the Deductions & Credits section
  • Scroll down to the HSA, MSA section
  • Click Start or Update
  • Be sure to check the box that you have an HSA account
  • Go through the screens asking about receiving Form 1099-SA reporting distributions
  • Next, you will be asked about  contributions  that were made to your HSA, either by you or through payroll deductions
