Did the employer actually contribute the $500 to the HSA? If not, they owe you a corrected W-2, one without the code W in box 12 of your W-2.

You will not be able to correctly file with this W-2.

If the employer agreed to not withhold the $500 through payroll deduction, then they should understand that the W-2 is wrong and must be corrected.

The corrected w2 won't be ready by the deadline, what should we do?
