turbotax is telling me I need to paper file because I have 2 form 8853 page 2s. Is there no other way to e-file?

    Did you have a distribution from an MSA/HSA for medical expenses (1099-SA) AND another distribution for a Long Term Care contract (1099-LTC)?  If not, you could delete Form 8853 and step through the interview section that applies to you to let Form 8853 repopulate correctly.

     

    If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies first.

     

    Here's more info on Form 8853.

    I received 2 1099-LTC forms. 1 for my mother and 1 for my father. TurboTax tells me that I can't file with 2 form 8853 page 2s.
