Deductions & credits

TurboTax has a design difficulty in the Review, in that it assumes that any taxpayer with a form 8889 must have HDHP coverage, which is why you are being asked to fill in this field on Line 1 for Self-only or Family. 

 

The design does not anticipate your situation in which you have a form 8889 because of your HSA distributions but no longer have any HDHP coverage.

 

The workaround in this case is to just check Self on line 1 of the 8889 so that you can clear the Review. You have already indicated that you had no HDHP coverage on Line 3 on the 8889, so all the numbers on the form will be correct - you are just doing this to bypass the Review.

 

You might make a note of what you did and why, not because the IRS will inquire, but because you may wonder next year why you did this...
