Troubleshooting
@user17720738631 Sometimes TurboTax records the contribution but doesn't automatically apply the deduction for the current year (it might assume you want to carry it forward).
Let's check a few things:
Go back to the FHSA section in the interview.
Look for a screen that asks: "How much of your FHSA contribution do you want to deduct this year?"
Ensure the full $8,000 is entered in the "Amount to claim" box. If this is blank, the summary will show $0, even if the T4FHSA is present.

If you are using the CD/download version of TurboTax, the summary pages sometimes fail to refresh even after the data is updated.
Switch to Forms Mode (bottom left or top menu).
Open Schedule 15.
Make a tiny change (e.g., delete one digit of the $8,000 and retype it). This often forces the software to "recalculate" all linked summary fields.
Switch back to EasyStep and check the summary again.
You mentioned it worked in 2024. In 2025, TurboTax updated its flow to better handle carry-forwards.
Check if you have accidentally indicated that you are a "First-Time Home Buyer" who made a qualifying withdrawal in 2025.
I hope this helps!
