No, the taxpayer should report whatever the HDHP coverage is, whether or not they are filing MFS.

 

That is, suppose one spouse has the HDHP policy, but that it is a Family policy that covers the both spouses. Both spouses should report Family HDHP coverage.

 

Note that since TurboTax does not support the automatic allocation of the Family coverage amount for returns filing married separate (MFS), then your only option in TurboTax is to use the CD/download version of TurboTax, go into Forms mode, and make entries directly on to the 8889.
