Bill,
Thank you for the explanation about trying to get Turbo Tax to update one thing and how that may affect another part of your tax return that you don't realize. That makes sense.
I'm not sure what you mean about the Form 8889 instructions being silent on changing the allocation in tax returns prior to 2021. I haven't looked at the instructions prior to 2020. But I am looking at the Line 6 Instructions for the 2020 Form 8889 right now. It states " If you are treated as having family coverage for each month, divide the amount on line 5 equally between you and your spouse, unless you both agree on a different allocation (such as allocating nothing to one spouse). " This same language is used in the 2021 Form 8889 Instructions. Please explain if there is something I am missing. In any case, this is as far as we can go with it. It was very helpful for me to have your daily response to my questions and comments, given the fact that the tax deadline was only a few days away. Anything you can do to point this matter out to the Turbo Tax accountants, I would appreciate.
Thank you.
