My granddaughter graduated from college in June of last year and is claimed as a dependent on her fathers return for 2021 because they supported her for over half the year. She had an employer contribution to an HSA account which she was taxed because she was not eligible because she was claimed by her father. The tax program included the HSA contribution from her W-2 on form 8889 and required her to answer how she was covered under a High Deductible Health Plan. Regardless of how she answered (Self, Family, Split Self and Family half and half, No Entry) it showed an error. She was covered by her parents plan until August of 2021 and then by her employer from August through December. She was not on an Affordable Care Plan and did not get form 1095-A. She also tried answering the HDHP with yes and no and is made no difference. It seems that there is no way to respond that the program will accept with an error.
