Why does Turbotax include HSA Contributes (Employer /Employee Plan) as Other Income in 2024 when it was not in 2023?

If you have other income due to excess HSA contribution, make sure you didn't accidentally re-enter the amount already listed (from box 12 of your W-2) in the HSA section. This will incorrectly double your total contribution amount.

 

To revisit the HSA section to check your entries:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the HSA section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to HSA.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Search for hsa and select the Jump to link.

Seems that as I progressed through the return it moved out of Other Income. Puzzled as I don't recall the subsequent questions that cased the change.

You have to indicate that you had HDHP insurance and choose self or family and which months or the whole year.
