Deductions & credits
When I run the Smart Check on my Federal return I'm told there are errors, let's fix them. I click on Fix, and this is the text of the error.
"Form 8889-T: Line 12 wks, line B should be blank. There are no Excess Employer Contributions. Adjustments to employer contributions should be entered on line E of the line 9 Smart Worksheet."
The value shown matches the amount I disbursed to myself at the suggestion of TurboTax, see below.
When I was entering my HSA information TurboTax told me that I had overcontributed and suggested that I could disburse some money back to myself, which I did. Then later I get this error. Quite confusing, since I did what was suggested yet TurboTax didn't seem to account for it correctly. The disbursement has gone through, so I have to make my tax return match. I'm pretty much at a loss as to how to correct this.
