Thanks Bill. You are correct there is a relationship.
On my original as filed, there is an entry for $1,292 in box 13 of schedule 1 and there is a form 8889 as well. On the Amended Federal version - I haven't pulled the trigger yet - when I remove form 8889, there is nothing in box 13 of schedule 1. So can I assume Schedule 1 box 13 generates Form 8889?
I haven't filed the amended version yet because if I use TurboTax, where it seems that Form 8889/Schedule 1 flow from Federal to State, then it looks like I owe the state money because the $1,292 is not deducted on my W2 State box. Do I need to try to get a revised W2 with the state and federal income matching? Or is there a way to just file the TT Federal Amendment, which would then be right, and not have it amend my state, which would then be wrong? Or do I need to do it manually and bypass TT?
