HSA contribution Line 6 on form 8889 does not match line 5
My husband and I have been covered under a HDHP since a couple of years. He does have a HSA and has contributed to it through his employer (deductions from his wages). We did not use any of the money.
I am a bit confused that line 6 on form 8889 does not match line 5.
Line 6 states "Enter the amount from line 5. But if you and your spouse each have separate HSAs and had family coverage under an HDHP at any time during 2022, see the instructions for the amount to enter."
Line 6 does not give us the maximum family coverage from line 5 but only the amount that my husband contributed to his HSA. Is this how it should be in our situation? As I said above, we did not have separate HSAs, only my husband has one.
Thanks!
