Deductions & credits
8889 Error subject: I can’t file my daughters return electronically due to TurboTax asking me for something I can’t fix re 8889 issue. She was a student most of the year and was a dependent on my taxes (parent) for 2019. She did, however, get a job in the fall and enrolled in an HSA at the company. For 2019 she had $125 that shows up in W2 12b as “W”. I know she is not eligible to claim the $125 as a deduction. But how do I get TurboTax to get me beyond this so I can file electronically? Do I remove the $125 from W2 12b and add the $125 to Box 1 amount “Wages, tips, other comp”. Or do I add it to MISC income with an explanation?
