Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@lrcliffordleslieraye

 

Do as Annette says and double and triple check with her HR people as to whether her health insurance isn't really an HDHP after all. It is highly unlikely that her employer helped her sign up for an HSA without providing employer-sponsored health insurance that was an HDHP.

 

Because her employer contributed to her HSA, she must complete form 8889. To start that interview, do a Search (upper right) for hsa and then click on the jump-to result. TurboTax will generate the 8889 based on your answers.

If you do not have an HSA nor HDHP coverage, you will need to delete any HSA information in order to be able to file. Please do the following:

It is possible to accidentally indicate to TurboTax that you had an HSA when perhaps you didn't. If you did not have an HSA, please do the following to remove all traces of HSA information from your return.

 

See this ===> NOTE: if you see a question "What type of High Deductible Health Plan did you have any December 1, 2018?" (yes, 2018), be sure to answer "NONE".

 

1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies)

2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen

 

*** Desktop***

3. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.

 

*** Online ***

3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form

 

4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)

5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually

6. continue with your return.
