Taxpayer and his spouse both received a 1099-SA to report distributions from a Medicare Advantage MSA. The instructions for completing Part 1 of form 8853 indicate that, if filing jointly, both taxpayer and spouse must complete a separate Section B. After doing so, I get an error message indicating that the return is not eligible for electronic filing because I am using more than 1 worksheet for page 1 of form 8853. It's very simple to enter the required information for these MSA distributions, but why would this hinder the electronic filing process? Am I missing something here and has anyone else run in to this problem?
