why do i have two 8889 forms?

why is turbotax hsa question generating two 8889 forms?

posted

Most taxpayers can see an 8889-T and an 8889-S (taxpayer and spouse respectively), whether or not one or the other has an HSA. If an 8889 is not needed, it won't be filed.

Since the HSA is owned by the individual, each taxpayer can have their own HSA, hence their own 8889.

Make sense?

I need to enter my wife's HSA contributions. But turbo tax only prompts me for my HSA contributions. But I don't have an HSA. The form 8889 lists $0 contributions
