Type of health insurance i have for each month in 2024

user17718681402 — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:44:14 GMT

Keeps changing the step-by-step process input for January 2024 to none although I keep changing it to the correct answer of self-only.

Also incorrect on the actual form 8889.

What is the fix?

The workaround for 2025 (this is an issue for this year only) is to enter "None" for January 2024. TurboTax for unknown reasons will change that to "Self" and your return will be correct.

I urge you to check this before you file (especially if you can see the 8889 on the desktop product)

Oh, ha! Tricky. Thank you.

I feel I tried everything else to try to get the "self" to stick and show up on Form 8889.
