Deductions & credits

"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,"

Are you referring to the worksheet in the IRS instructions or on the 8889-T form in TurboTax Forms mode? I agree that the IRS instructions say that, but the TurboTax worksheet for line 3 on the form 8889-T doesn't work the same way (since this "worksheet" doesn't appear on the actual 8889 that is filed, this is OK, so long at the final numbers on the form are correct).

 

It is likely that this situation is rooted in the confusing IRS instructions that add the $1,000 in some situations on line 3 and in other situations on line 7. It's also not impossible that the instructions changed over time.

 

But, again, as I say, if the final numbers on the actual form are correct, you are OK.
