Deductions & credits

The 5329-T reappears because it exists to do penalties for many different situations, but the 8889-T reappears only when you have HSA triggers. The most common HSA trigger is the code W in box 12 on your W-2, which is why you deleted it.

 

There is one other very rare case which I don't usually mention - did you do a Qualified HSA Funding Distribution? Transfer money directly trustee to trustee from an IRA to an HSA?

 

Rats. There must be something on your W-2 that is resurrecting it.

 

OK, this time, to delete the W-2, do it through Forms mode and not through the interview.

 

And how many W-2s do you have? More than one?
