When I entered my HSA contribution which is a combo of employee + employer, my taxes due for FED jumped up by 1K. What happened? I thought this was pre-tax funds?

This is the W2 entry for section 12, item W.

[Opus 17]

Keep going.  The HSA contributions are deemed taxable income by Turbotax until you finish the interview and tell the program that you had qualifying insurance.  I believe this will come up at the end of the W-2 interview, and it can also be accessed from the 1099-SA section on the income page and the HSA section on the Deductions page.

Thank you.  I just found that answer elsewhere too.  🙂
