Form 8853

When I run a Federal review it says everything is OK.  Then when I run the Review tab it gives me the following error message  :  I am using more than one worksheet for Page 1 of Form 8853. The IRS requires a statement to be filed with the return. Unfortunately we don't support this statement for e-filing.

 

Last year I had no problems filing.

I would attempt to change the data manually for your Archer MSAs and/or Long-Term Care Insurance Contracts first.

 

If this does not work for you I would delete Form 8853, Archer MSAs and Long-Term Care Insurance Contracts, from the return and re-enter the data.

 

 

  • In the left-hand black menu, choose Tax Tools then Tools.
  •  Click on Delete a Form from the window that pops up.
  •  You should now see the Review Form List. Scroll down the list and click Delete on Form 8853.
  • You may get a pop up telling you additional worksheets and forms are being deleted. Approve and click delete.
  • You should come back to the Review Form List. Scroll to the bottom and click Continue with My Return.

This did not help me at all.  Manually deleted the form with no change. Filled out a complete new form with the same results.  Have no idea what to try next.

The above solution applies to the TurboTax Online program.

If you’re using the CD or download version, please see the TurboTax Help article How do I delete a tax form in the TurboTax CD/Download software?for guidance.

Go to "Tax Tools" on the left navigation bar and click "Tools". Then click "Delete a form" and scroll to "8853" and delete it. That worked for me!

I'm having the same problem. A turbotax representative sent me the link today, I followed the directions, and I too am getting the same results. I've been with turbotax for well over a decade, but the company needs to fix this glitch ASAP or I'll find a new online tax service for my 2025 returns.

There was an update done on February 14, 2025 to Form 8853 Long Term Care Contracts. You can open your return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing.

The review function did not fix the error. I had to delete the form from the completed return and reenter the 1099-LTC form information, which was not an intuitive series of steps. Between a long conversation with a turbotax rep (nice, but in the end not terribly helpful in remediating the issue) and then figuring out how to fix the problem, this turbotax glitch took an extra 3+ hours of my personal time, leading to the most disappointing experience I've had in my many years of using the company's services.
