Medicare isn't HDHP. Excess HSA 2022 contribution got carried over to 2023 & to 2024 since the HSA isn't exhausted. Line 1 in 8889 requires picking "self" or "Family"?
No HSA contributions made in 2023 or 2024 but the current HSA balance is higher than the excess contribution in 2022 and hence I need to continue to pay 6% penalty. That's clear.
Medicare isn't HDHP which is clear as well and I have answered the TurboTax questions to state that clearly.
Form 8889, Question 1 "Check the box to indicate your coverage under a HDHP during 2024" gives only two options "Self-only" and "Family". If I leave both of them blank then TurboTax gives an error. The HSA is for me and my dependent and my dependent has HDHP COBRA and I am on Medicare. There is no information in TurboTax help on this. What should I do? Is this an error in TurboTax software?
