Hmmm... On my 8889 form, TT has my excess employer contributions 12A as 1978, but the 14C line as 2153.
I can't get the 175 difference to show up as part of line 15, Qualified Medical expenses.
If I try to change 12B to 2153, then 12C changes to -175 and TTax says the form is incomplete and in StepByStep says that the number shouldn't be greater than the excess contributions. The excess of 1978 is what I actually had taken out of my paycheck - $2916 of the 4/12 * 8750, so that is correct.
Maybe I'll just have to enter it on Schedule 1 as excess distribution and pay the tax. It isn't that much and trying to figure out how to make the $175 show up as a Qualified medical expense without TTax errors isn't working.
