When I was doing tax return for a client, i came across a strange situation. His W-2 had HSA contribution (box 12-code W). But it’s all by his employer contribution. He said he contributed to HSA, showed EOY pay stub that showed $1000 duduction to HSA. I checked his w2 income for FIT and for FICA - both same indicating no pretax dollars withdrawn.
I am surprised why would a BIG employer like HD would not let employee contribute pre-tax dollars into HSA. Has anyone has this experienced?
