I noticed my state (also AL) and federal wages on my 2016 W-2 were different in the amount contributed to the HSA. That was the first time I'd seen that, so I figured they weren't deductible in AL. 2016 was the first year with an HSA for me, so I haven't actually gone through the research and tax-filing process yet, so I'm hesitant to give a definitive answer. | |

IL's takes your 1040 AGI (or something similar, I forget which line) and then prompts you for a list of things that you need to add back in. It might be worth looking to see how AL would have you do it in their own tax software. | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 21:15 | comment | added | Ethan | @BenMiller I notice in your linked question that your answer states: "Contributions that you deduct from your federal income need to be added back in to your income on your state return." Is this confirmation that the W-2 does not add contributions to your state income for you? | |
