I'm assuming that you mean HSA. (Healthcare Savings Account). It's similar to your FSA (Flexible Spending Account) in that they are both not taxed. The HSA is more flexible and can be carried over year to year where the FSA can't. HSA's are commonly used with high deductible medical insurance plans. FSA accounts aren't reported on W-2's only in that your contributions reduce your wages (line 1) and therefore your taxable income. There is no separate entry in TurboTax.
