Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hi Julie, Thanks for the feedback.
I did everything John said since the first time I entered in the info even before I ever posted. I would love to just delete the W2, but I don't know what the IRS rules are for this. However, if I do delete it, then the info Turbo Tax pulls from the W2 will not update form 8889 and show the employer contributions. Some of the boxes as you probably know can be manually updated in the forms section of TT, but this is one area that it will not allow manual updates. Here is the section that I am refering too. -->
I wanted to see the outcome (what happens to form 8889)if I deleted the W2 showing the employer contribution even before I posted. If I delete the W2 , the boxes above that show 1,000 will all go blank. I'm wondering though if it really matters, since the contribution is not taxable, and will not change my taxes.
In addition, I just assumed (maybe correctly or incorrectly) that if I don't include a W2, the IRS software would have a feature that would flag the issue and they would not accept my tax form electronically??? Maybe you know yes or no here? Thoughts?
