Thank you for responding. I am using Turbo tax deluxe for Mac OS, on disc, it is for Form 8889-T, HSA. The error message came up on the section of the program, in easy step: let’s “review your taxes for errors” and said there were errors in the Line 3 Part A worksheet, which calculates your contribution by month. I had Medicare for part of the year and a high deductible health plan for the rest. I used the east step interview to fill out the form. It collected all the information and gave me the correct HSA contribution adjusted for my age (over 55). However, the program reported an error for all the months I reported self only insurance, saying I had an ineligible spouse. That didn’t make sense, After updating the software and deleting the form multiple times and reentering the information through the interview the program I stopped having this error.
however, the information on the worksheet is still erroneous and does not match the information and calculations from easy step . I have downloaded the instructions from the IRS, and they indicate that for Line 3 Part A worksheet for each month that I was covered by a high deductible plan, I should enter $4650, the program automatically enters $3650. I cannot change this. So it comes up with an inaccurate contribution. However, it transferred the correct amount from easy step, so those numbers don’t match.
thank you for your assistance.
