My significant other and I were on different insurances last year. They were on a HDHP, I was not. I contributed $200.00 to my FSA. They had an HSA that they did not contribute to, but their employer contributed $1000.00 to in the same year. I have already used my FSA money. Does it matter if we filed jointly or not? Is this allowed for tax purposes? And if it isn't, how do I fix it? Would I ask my significant other's HSA provider to remove 1000.00 dollars as an excess contribution to fix it so I don't get a penalty?

Does it matter if we filed jointly or not?
Unless you are legally married, you cannot file a joint tax return. When you refer to your "Significant Other" are you really referring to a spouse to whom you are legally married? If not, then whatever you each did with your HSA or FSA accounts are completely separate and are only entered on your own separate tax returns.
Yes, I am referring to my spouse who I am legally married to.
