Solution to E-filing rejection due to potential issue related to HSA, MSA contributions.
I got this error until I went into forms 8899T and 8899S and manually changed data that the interview had improperly put into the form of the HSA owner, which in my case was the Spouse, so it was on Form 8889S Situation: Joint Tax return, TurboTax Home and Business, Windows Taxpayer, no HSA so From 8889T all zeros, but covered on Spouse HSA Form 8889T, Taxpayer, all zeros, was correct. Covered by spouse. HSA, form 8889S - Line 3 Smart Worksheet - Enter Either X for family if covered every month by the same amount, OR Enter the coverage for each month. The Bug in TurboTax Checked the Box AND entered the data for each month. The result was a rejection because the data sent to the IRS as a result of this was interpreted that you had Marketplace coverage and had not entered a 1095-A. REJECTED! The solution that worked for me was to go into forms mode, select form 8889S, and uncheck the Family box on line 3 of the Smart Worksheet. This clears the monthly amounts in the Family column, which is equal to your maximum eligibility for the year if it didn't change. I went down the columns, put in that full amount in each, and then closed the form. Ran through the Federal Review, State Review, and did the steps for E-filing. This time, instead of the 2 rejections on the hour, I got Federally Accepted 11 minutes after the hour. State acceptance I am confident will follow later once Federal contacts them. Good luck. TurboTax - FIX THE BUG, PLEASE.
