Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

My wife is on my insurance plan (HSA). When asked if either of us have an account should I choose both or just myself?

My wife is on my insurance plan (HSA). When asked if either of us have an account should I choose both or just myself?

HSA are individually owned and joint accounts are not allowed.  A spouse may have privileges where they can use the account to pay for medical expenses. This makes it 'function' like a joint account.

If you are the account owner, answer for yourself. Indicate in the HSA that you have a family plan if your HDHP covers you and your wife/family. 

Be certain to indicate that you have a HDHP in this section also. You must have the HDHP to contribute to an HSA. If you omit this step TurboTax will calculate an excess contribution.
