After you file

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question!

Yes, I did file 2019 before doing the 2018 amendment, so definitely when I filed 2019 it still showed I had an HSA excess as my data got transferred to 2019 as originally filed.

And you are right, I did not get charged additional taxes for 2019 because the ending balance in 2019 in the account was 0...I guess my concern was because when it tries to calculate if you do owe additional taxes, part of the calculation is that it used the 2018 excess in form 5329(lines 42,46,48). I didn't know if I should amend because those lines show the excess.  I think after your explanation since the bottom line is zero... I am just going to let it be and hope nothing else comes of this...

Thanks again for your time!!
