Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@L H A

 

You or your spouse has an HSA (I can't tell which), so check the box for that person.

 

Then, when you go through the HSA interview, indicate that at no time that you had HDHP coverage. Since you made no contributions, this will be fine.

 

In the Review, you may get flagged for having a form 8889 (you should in order to report the distributions), but for not having Self-only or Family coverage at any point in the year.

 

Go ahead and check Self-only. It won't matter because you already said that you had no coverage at any point in the year.

 

Yes, this is contradictory, but your 8889 will be numerically correct and you will be able to e-file.
