Get your taxes done using TurboTax

hi please indicate if users should be sending the following type of issue to an email address or this forum is most appropriate. 

 

For the question TT asks under HSA 'tour': Did {user name} inherit this HSA?  

 

it then says: It's not common, but we have to check. If you inherited this HSA from a spouse, answer No.

 

This is worded in such a way as to be confusing and misleading in multiple ways.

 

Consequently this begs for a multiple choice answer first of which could be: you inherited your IRA, but it was from your spouse.

next option choice : you inherited your IRA but not from your spouse and then option 3 you did NOT inherit your HSA.  

 

Literally the Q and one possible A is self-contradictory.

 

I understand under the rules TT is coming to conclusion that if from spouse it is AS IF the answer is NO but that is so confusing because you are answering no to the initial question even though the literal answer is \yes to the English question asked. imo.
