Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The situation that you describe in which the employer made a mistake (making an HSA contribution when the employer should have known that the employee was no longer eligible) is one of those situations in which the employer is permitted to correct the error by removing the contribution from the HSA and issuing a corrected W2.

 

However, because it has been more than a year, typically employers and HSA custodians are reluctant to correct old errors, even when it is obvious that they made the mistake.

 

It appears to me that your issue is only being unable to get past a point in the Review where the Review is telling you to enter either Family or Self for HDHP coverage, even though you don't have any HDHP coverage.

 

In this case, enter "Self". It actually doesn't matter if you enter Self or Family - all you are doing is getting past the roadblock in the Review.

 

This is OK because when you indicated that you had no HDHP coverage, then all the numbers on the 8889 were correct - it was only that the Review did not understand why you would have an 8889 without any HDHP coverage.

 

If I have described your situation correctly, then just do the workaround and go e-file.
