Deluxe is required for form 8889.<BR /></P> <P>But if there is a code <B>"W" in box 12 on your W-2</B>, then you or your employer made contributions to your HSA, and reporting the HSA on form 8889 is required. Also, if you received a form 1099-SA, then you took distributions from the HSA, and must file form 8889.</P><P>If you had neither the code W in box 12 of the W-2 nor a 1099-SA, then TurboTax would have no way of knowing that you needed to upgrade to Deluxe to add form 8889.<BR /></P> <P></P> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 09:47:47 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/the-irs-requires-you-to-file-form-8889-for-the-hsa-only/01/663730#M86994 BMcCalpin 2019-06-06T09:47:47Z
