Errors on Form 8889-S

Ok. So I assume from your past that the worksheet is not printed in the final print out or transmitted to the IRS. 

just wish it would be accurate as it is distracting when I check my entries.

Correct, the worksheet is not submitted with the return.  The return will be okay to submit if your final numbers are correct on the actual form.

Deleting 8889-S worked for my 2025 1040-SR on 20260214.

What problem are you having, that you are filing Married Separate, and the Review is telling you that "Family should not be checked, etc."?

 

Have you tried what worked for many taxpayers, to just delete the 8889-S (see below)?

 

If this did not help, then do the HSA Reset and start over on the HSA data.

 

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 redo the entire HSA interview....
