Why are my HSA Contributions being taxed?
K S asked:
I am filling out my information in Turbo Tax and when I add how much I am contributing to my Health Savings Account, it reduces my tax refund. Does this mean I am being taxed on this money? I thought HSA contributions were supposed to be tax protected? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your quick responses – the form did adjust later when I completed the 8889. TurboTax is a little misleading and suggests I am being taxed on this when is reduces my refund after filling in 12(c).
