The 8889 must be filled out if you want to (1) benefit from the tax break for contributions you made to the HSA, and (2) don't want to be taxed on the distributions. Otherwise you are very likely to get a letter from the IRS asking for some money, because without the 8889, they will assume that your entire distribution was spent on non-qualified expenses and tax you one them.
