Deductions & credits

The program has determined that your $1500 HSA contribution in ineligible. The $90 is the 6% penalty for making an ineligible contribution. The question is why is this happening. Did you go through the HSA interview that is found in the medical deduction section? That is where you must answer the HSA eligibility questions. Until you have proven your eligibility, the program assumes you are NOT eligible and taxes the contribution. Once you have successfully completed the eligibility test questions, the program will allow contribution up to the maximum allowed.
