We had two HSAs last year, one for my wife and one for myself. We overfunded them by mistake by $814. I withdrew these excess contributions after January 1, 2020. This withdrawal of the excess contributions should show up on line 14b on Form 8889, but it is not showing up. I am taking the following steps to do so, and it is not working. What should I be doing instead?
After going through the HSA interview and letting the program determine we could have $7000 max contribution, it says:
"Who made the excess HSA contribution? You contributed $814 more to your HSAs than you were allowed. From this amount, you may allocate $488 of excess contribution between you. Who should we treat as having made the excess contribution of $488?"
I selected myself, but why is it saying $488, and why does this matter?
Next page, it says I have made an excess contribution, and to avoid a 6% tax on this, I should withdraw by April 15. Since I have already withdrawn this, I select that I will withdraw it all by April 15.
Next page, it confirms that I have $814 of excess employer contributions withdrawn.
But when I go to review Form 8889 at the end preview, it doesn't show this $814 on line 14b! How do I make that happen?
