Yes, this is when entering a 1099-SA

I am listed first on the return.

On the first screen, the column for my spouse has all zeroes (as it should)

On the next screen, I originally did not check the HSA box for my spouse: she has an HDHP, but not an HSA.

That lead to the dreaded incorrect question about the reason for her cancelling her health plan.

Checking the HSA box for my spouse gets around that, but that leads to a form 8889 for her being included (there's an 8889-T for me and an 8889-S for her). Looking over her 8889-S, there seems no harm to including the form (all the numbers are correct).

 

But this seems a bug in TT: we both have a "self only" HDHP; only I have an HSA; but if I don't check the HSA box for my spouse in the 2nd screen, it leads TT to conclude that her coverage stopped.
