HOW DO I REMOVE THE 8889? I DID NOT HAVE AN HSA.

It is possible to accidentally indicate to TurboTax that you have an HSA when you don't.

To remove all data associated with the HSA and form 8889, please do the following:

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.


If at any point you see a question that asks you "What type of High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) did [name] have on December 1, 2017?" (yes, 2017), just enter "None". This question does not apply to you.
