How do I e-file when I keep getting asked about a High Deductible Health Plan and I don't have one? Thanks.

I stated that I don't have an HSA or MSA, but the review keeps bringing me back to the high deductible health plan question. How can I correct this?

It is possible to accidentally indicate to TurboTax that you had an HSA when perhaps you didn't. If you did not have an HSA, please do the following to remove all traces of HSA information from your return.

1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies)

2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen

*** Desktop***

3. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.

*** Online ***

3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form

4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)

5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually

6. continue with your return.

NOTE: if you see a question "What type of High Deductible Health Plan did you have any December 1, 2018?" (yes, 2018), be sure to answer "NONE".

Please do as I suggested; it is the fastest way to get to what you want.
