If you didn't have an HSA in 2024 and your W-2 did not report that you contributed to your HSA (i.e. you did not have a "w" entered in box 12 of your Form W-2), you can do the following:

1. Click on "Search" in the top right of your TurboTax screen
2. Type "hsa" in the search box
3. Select "Jump to hsa"
4. Your screen will say, "Tell us about health-related accounts you had in 2024"
5. Select "None of the above"
6. Select "Continue"
7. Answer the follow-up screens about your situation. (Delete any entries that may indicate you have an HSA if there are any).

You can also delete your Form 8889 from your tax return using the instructions below.
