I can't get past the HSA section! Help, for days it's been telling me to fill in information I DO NOT HAVE. Any help would be appreciated

Occasionally you accidently enter something that makes TurboTax think that you have an HSA. The way to clear this is to do an HSA Reset to remove all HSA data in your return.

 

Note, if you still see the screen asking what kind of Health Accounts you (and your spouse) have, be sure to answer NONE.

 

HSA RESET

***Reset***

 

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/Windows***

 

3. Go to the upper right and click on Forms, and 

4. Select the desired form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)). Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form’s screen.


 

*** Desktop/Mac***


 

3. Switch to Forms Mode by selecting the Forms icon.

4. From the menu, select the form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)) you want to remove (if you don't see it, select Open Form at the top). From the Forms menu, select Remove [form name].

 

*** 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. go back and proceed with the rest of your return.

look at your W-2s, if you have any,  to make sure there is nothing in box 12 with code W. That's for HSA
