I contributed $2600 in 2023 and had to remove $700 excess.
When Turbotax asked me "are you going to remove it before the deadline" - i chose yes and moved on.
$700 is listed on schedule 1 8f 8889 income so it will be taxed accordingly.
However in my 8889 form, it still shows $2600 listed on line 9 and 11. Shouldn't this be fixed to $1900? as if I have only contributed to $1900?
To clarify, Lines 9 & 11 on the 8889 represent employer contributions. Did both you and your employer contribute to the plan? I ask because your contribution limit for 2023 is $3850 ($4850 if over 55) for a self-plan and $7750 ($8750 if over 55) for family plan. $2600 is under the limit unless there were additional contributions or if a spouse has an HSA.
I only had high deductible health plan for six months out of 12 in 2023. So I was told that I can only contribute up to half of annual max for a single person which is about 1900. My previous employer Took pretax money out of my paycheck every two weeks so it's my contribution but also my employer contributed one time of $1500
