I am NOT doing anything wrong - through payroll I contributed $2K and my employer contributed $2K ($4K  in box 12 on my W2). Additionally, I contributed an extra $2K during the year - so my TOTAL contributions were $6K. I'm 58 with a HDHP (family), my limit should be over $9K! But with a total of $6K, TT is telling me I'm $4K over.

 

Instead of getting a tax break on that additional $2K, TT is telling me I'm getting a penalty of 6% on $4K. It's just wrong, and having to delete and restart from the 1099-SA page is bad enough - and didn't work. Now I'm supposed to try deleting my W2 and re-entering all that information? That's BS, and even if it works, it's a kludgey work-around to a problem that shouldn't exist that I'm paying good money for.

 

EDIT: I went back to my W2 and deleted ONLY the HSA contribution... then re-added it, and that changed the amount from taxable to non-taxable and fixed THIS problem, but now it's saying my spouse had a break on HDHP coverage, which is NOT correct. This is unbelievably bad, Intuit! You're supposed to be saving me time and hassle, not CAUSING it!
