I had TurboTax provide a prompt stating if I withdraw excess contributions before 4-15, it would help my taxes. I was no longer able get that prompt after hitting Visit All within the 1099-SA section in the Step By Step mode.
I see it as a line item within Visit All, it iss not available to enter (the field is called: Excess employer contributions withdrawn) but since I entered in this way, it now shows in StepByStep mode:
So I entered the amount I withdrew from HSA on 2/5 of 1056 in Forms mode, on line 12 B of the 8889-T but get this error.
Form 8889-T Line 12 Wks , line B, should not be greater than the amount of excess
employer contributions/excess HSA funding distributions.
It is not greater than the employer contributions/excess.
1099-SA-Box 1 -4030.17
W2 (Code W) - 5150 for HSA
I had deleted and readd W2, and 1099-SA after seeing a similar answer to a post with this same issue.
The reason I am entering it is because I see:
But you can avoid a tax penalty by withdrawing the total amount of excess contributions from your HSA before the tax deadline.
How do I get around this issue as this is an error in TurboTax?
