It is likely that you mistakenly answered the question
"What type of High Deductible Health Plan did you have on December 1,
2016?" (see screenshot below) with "Family" or "Self". If, indeed, you do not
have an HSA or HDHP voverage, then you should have answered this question with "none'.
May I
also assume that you do not have a code W in box 12 on your W-2? This, as Lisa995 points out, along
with the 1099-SA is an indicator of a taxpayer having an HSA (health Savings
Account), which goes with HDHP coverage.
If you
do not have an HSA, then I would encourage to delete all HSA related date in
order to be able to continue with your return. 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
Continue with your return. If you see the
question "What type of High Deductible Health Plan did you have on
December 1, 2016?" again, if you don't have an HSA or HDHP coverage, be sure to answer "none".
