Deductions & credits

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the reply. 

 

I checked the box indicating the funds were used for authorized medical expenses.  I also checked the form (used the turbotax "View pull down tab") to see the the box on 1099-SA in turbotax has the box checked indicating the funds were used for qualified medical expenses (it is checked).

 

I am basically done with my taxes (all data entered and can submit).

 

I decided to do one last review.  I changed the HSA distribution amount to see if it influenced my MAGI.  I reduced the HSA distribution I received drastically.  I figured the amount of tax owed should not change.  It did (taxes owed go up when I increase the HSA distribution, and go down when I decrease the distribution).   MAGI does not change.

 

In the "Summary form", it looks like I might owe a tax penalty.  Increasing the HSA distribution also increases the tax penalty.  Seems like my HSA distribution from 1099-SA is being treated as taxable income.  Maybe I'm pressing (or not pressing) the correct button?

Any thoughts??

Thanks!
