TurboTax says I overcontributed to HSA in 2025, but I qualify for last-month rule and contributed exactly the limit
TurboTax is telling me I have an excess HSA contribution of $3,419 for 2025, and I’m trying to understand why.
Here is my full situation:
2024:
I was covered under my parents’ family HDHP for all 12 months (Jan–Dec 2024)
I was not claimed as a dependent
I personally contributed $4,150 to my HSA (no employer contributions)
My Form 8889 shows:
Family coverage all 12 months
Contributions: $4,150
Excess contributions: $0
2025 coverage timeline:
Jan–Feb 2025: Family HDHP coverage (parents’ plan)
Mar–Aug 2025: No HDHP coverage (Got a job and that job's healthcare plan was not an HDHP)
Sep–Dec 2025: Self-only HDHP coverage through my new employer
I had self-only HDHP coverage on December 1, 2025
2025 contributions:
Employer contributions: $173
Personal contributions: $4127
No spouse
What I entered in TurboTax:
2024 coverage: Family plan for all 12 months
2025 coverage:
Jan–Feb: Family
Mar–Aug: None
Sep–Dec: Self-only
Spouse coverage: None for all months
Additional income under last-month rule: $0
My understanding:
Since I had self-only HDHP coverage on Dec 1, 2025, I should qualify for the last-month rule and be allowed to contribute the full self-only limit of $4,300.
However, TurboTax says my excess contribution is $3,419.
Questions:
Should I qualify for the last-month rule in this situation?
If so, why would TurboTax still show an excess contribution?
Is there a specific question or screen I may have answered incorrectly?
