HSA and dropped coverage question

tbkjjk — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 19:19:48 GMT

My husband has an HSA through his employer. He and I are covered by a high deductible plan from his employer. It's my understanding that when we opened the HSA it had to be in his name only because he is the employee. So I list the HSA as under his name. But when I go through the questions and get to questions about me I say family plan just like him, then is says sometime during the year I let my coverage lapse?? Now if I check the HSA belongs to both of us it doesn't come up that my insurance lapsed sometime. Either way doesn't effect the refund/or amount owed. Just crazy insurance on me never lapsed. How do I answer this.

you do not have an HSA so you do not have your own family plan. only he needs one to cover you. see if there is an 8889-S in the return. if so delete it. the 8889-T should indicate family coverage,

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Thank you for the info.. I'm not sure what happened but after I asked the question and went back on and tried different scenarios and then put back my original answers it resolved itself. All is good.. Thank you 🙂
