I am using OLT on Firefox, Windows 7.  Yes, Windows 7.  Since 2012.  My dual-booted Windows 10 is trash. Last year (2024 tax), I used HR Block, because I misunderstood the limit on AGI for OLT.  This year, I asked OLT whether their program would switch to fee-based if it calculated AGI too high for free filing.  It does.  (I received an answer within a couple of hours, on 22 March, a Sunday!)

In TurboTax Online, to view how much you owe in Michigan state taxes and the withdrawal date, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to your State Taxes section. 2. Select your Michigan state return. 3.

When both spouses are HSA eligible and one spouse has family HDHP coverage, the tax code requires both spouses to be treated as having family HDHP coverage.  The spouses are jointly subject to the family contribution limit, so if you contributed the family limit to your HSA, your spouse is not permitted to contribute anything to an HSA (unless age 55 or over, in which case that spouse is eligible to contribute their catch-up).   To avoid the penalty that TurboTax is correctly calculating, you or your spouse will have to request an explicit return of $4,300 of contribution before the due date of your 2025 tax return.
