Understanding HSA Contributions on W2 Forms

As an employee, you might wonder where employer contributions to your Health Savings Account (HSA) would appear on your W2 form. When an employer contributes to your HSA, it would typically show up in Box 12 of your W2 form with the code 'W.'

Employer contributions to your HSA are considered a non-taxable benefit, and they help you save for medical expenses tax-free. Seeing this information on your W2 form can give you a clear picture of the benefits and contributions made towards your HSA.

As you review your W2 form, you may notice that employer contributions to your Health Savings Account (HSA) are neatly listed under Box 12 with the code 'W.' This is an important marker that indicates the tax-free money your employer has set aside for your medical expenses.
