HSA deduction - adjustment to income

[prouleau]

I'm using Home and Business for 2022.  Box 12 on my W2 is $7200 - $1000 employer contribution and $6200 for my contribution.  How do I enter these two amounts in the program so that they are reflected on Form 8889, Lines 2 & 9, and I get the benefit of the adjustment to income on Schedule 1, Part 2, Line 13?  I don't know where to enter the data, and I haven't been able to do an override.  Thank you.

Employer contributions and employee contributions through a cafeteria plan to an HSA are reported in Box 12 coded "W" and are not included taxable wages in box 1 of the W2.  The amount in box 12 automatically goes to line 9 of the the form 8889 used to determine if any personal contributions outside of payroll and entered on line 2 of form 8889 are deductible.  In your case there are no personal contributions outside of payroll coded "W" that goes to line 2.  

The amount on the W2 is not a deduction; it is just not included in the taxable wages in your W2 entries. 

Here are the instructions for the form W2 for reference.
