The 8853 can be triggered by a code R in box 12 of your W-2. If you have a code R but no MSA (Medical Savings Account), then you need to, (1) re-enter your W-2 (type it in this time, don't autoimport it), (2) get a corrected W-2 from your employer 

Clearing the MSA form (8853) is similar to the HSA Reset (see below):
