Yes, enter it in the HSA section. Usually when you make an HSA contribution through your employer, it is a pre-tax contribution that is listed in Box 12 with a code of W. Since in your case it is being listed in Box 14, it sounds like this is an after-tax contribution. If that's correct, you would be able to take a deduction on it.

But since this is not a normal treatment for an employer HSA contribution, I would double-check with your employer that this is correct. If it is a pre-tax contribution, they should re-issue you a W2 with a box 12 code of W with that amount.

Does this number match a Box 12 Code W amount? What state are you in?

No, the only Box 12 amount was for a Code D on my W-2. I'm in Michigan.

Did you make an HSA contribution last year through your employment, or is this amount the cost of your HSA insurance?

My employer and I both made post-tax contributions to my HSA. My paycheck is set up so that their "match" to my HSA is included as income to me, then post-tax deductions are included for me and their match. On my W-2, Box 14 includes the total HSA contribution made in the year - not just my portion. Can i take the full amount as a deduction, or do I have to exclude the match, even though it is counted as income and deducted post tax?
