Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, it is not a bug with TurboTax. IRS regulations say that a dependent can not qualify for an HSA.

 

From the IRS Publication 969:

 

Qualifying for an HSA Contribution

To be an eligible individual and qualify for an HSA contribution, you must meet the following requirements.

  • You are covered under a high deductible health plan (HDHP), described later, on the first day of the month.
  • You have no other health coverage except what is permitted under Other health coverage, later.
  • You aren’t enrolled in Medicare.
  • You can’t be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2022 tax return.
