If you have contributions in excess of what is reported on the W-2 follow the steps below:
HSA contributions are not normally deducted on the return. It is usually captured by the employer on the W-2.
In most cases, your HSA contribution is reported in box 12 of your W-2 with the code W (Company Contributions to Health Savings Account).
Tip: Code W actually reports the combined contribution – yours plus your employer's. So if you contributed $1,500 to your HSA and your employer matched it dollar for dollar, box 12 on your W-2 would show $3,000 with a code W.
But what if I made an HSA contribution that wasn't reported on my W-2?
We'll ask about this uncommon situation when you step through the Medical section. Look for the questions Did you put money into an HSA in 2021? or Do you need to make any adjustments to your HSA contribution amount? When you answer Yes, we'll open a screen where you can enter your contribution.
This did not answer my question at all. Fortunately I was able to call TurboTax and the person who I spoke to helped me in two minutes.

This is a re-iteration of what I had already found in TurboTax help, as I stated already . As I had stated already, I looked in the Medical section and did not find these questions! It turns out that there are multiple "Medical" section and one of them was hidden. Nothing I found online told me how to find it. It would be helpful if TurboTax would just link to these specific "medical" questions in TurboTax help Using TurboTax used to be easy, but entering the information this year was ridiculously difficult.
