You will need to print it again, sign and date it ink, and mail it.   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Some clarification: The 1099-SA will come into play in 2025, because the HSA custodian is withdrawing the excess contribution NOW.   He filed his 2024 tax return already, paying the $1 excise tax on the excess contribution, because the excess remained in the HSA through 2024.   He will file his amended 2023 return soon, to remove the ineligible contribution from Form 8889 and to pay the $1 excess tax for 2023, as well.   When the 2025 tax year rolls around, he will see how the HSA custodian coded the withdrawal on the 1099-SA & go from there.

Great, thanks for the prompt response.   We followed your instructions and it makes sense that we've correctly addressed the split in Turbotax.   The 'Picture of Your 2024 Income' still shows that Roth/Rollover money as part of our total income, but we confirmed that when we did a rollover in a previous year, it also showed the rollover $ as part of our total income for that year (and we weren't charged income tax on it), so all is good.  Thanks for your detailed response!
