Deductions & credits
Same here. TT deluxe. Smartcheck is not smart enough to allow for this scenario where child was a student, covered by parent's family plan, graduated in May, started work in 2nd half of the year and does the RIGHT thing to set up an HSA. Even if the child is willing to pay excess tax or withdraw that amount for that half year, TT has no way to handle this, and gets stuck in the endless loop of trying to auto-fill an 8889-T HSA form (bc of the W2 info) then declaring that's an error you can't have an HSA. Would be nice if TT released a bug fix update quickly to simply override this somehow. Meantime, trying to figure out how to do this through TT's manual forms. If can't get far enough with that, may have to skip TT and have child fill out taxes online directly w IRS.
