On form 8889T, it is asking me to indicate which months my daughter had HDHP coverage, and for self or family. She was covered under my employers health plan as my dependent until 3/31/17 when she turned 26. At that time, by law I can no longer cover her and she then went on her employers HSA plan. The only way I can get Turbo Tax to stop identifying form 8889T as having errors is to do the following:
1. Indicate my daughter had a HDHP plan for Jan, Feb and March of 2017 - family plan
2. show none for Apr - Dec
I am not sure if I am filling it out properly. It changes her tax liability from owing $$ for federal to getting a couple hundred dollars back. That is why I want to make sure I am doing this correctly.
Thanks. Rick
