Dependent child with hdhp
Hi,
My daughter moved away to a different state in July of 2024. As a result of this, for the 2024 filing year, she is listed as my dependent. She took a new job that has an HDHP with an HSA account. I just learned that any contributions she or her company made to the HSA must be withdrawn before 4/15 in order to avoid a penalty.
The issue I am experiencing is when we attempt to submit her tax return. It gives an error stating that form 8889, part 1, question 1 is missing a value for 'self' or 'family'.
However, when either of those fields are populated, it then gives an error that they should not be populated, based on her being a dependent. Because of this, I am in an endless error loop and unable to submit the return. Please advise.
