The question on the page before you see that there was a “lapse” in coverage is causing the issue.

On the previous page you should see the question, “What type of High Deductible Health Plan did [spouse] have on December 1, 2016?”. The choices are Family, Self only, or None.

If your spouse has been covered under your family plan, you might think you should answer Family to the question. However, the answer should be None.

It is referring to what type of plan your spouse held in their name on December 1, 2016. If your spouse had their own separate HDHP on that date, then choose the type of plan that your spouse had. If instead your spouse was covered under the plan in your name, then you should choose None.

To go back to the section of your return to answer the questions again, use the following steps:

On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)

This opens a box where you can type in “hsa” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)

The search results will give you an option to “Jump to hsa”

Click on the blue “Jump to hsa” link and edit your information

I went in and selected " choose who had coverage when"

I clicked on "clear all" then clicked on "select all" for each person and then I didn't get the message again!

I hope this helps others.
