Client received Form-1099-SA for distribution from HSA for qualified medical expenses.  Instructions are to use Form 8889 to show amount received, but its not working for me.  What am I missing?

Hopefully basic has the line 3 smart worksheet or you can use line 2 to enter contributions. Entering the 1099SA be sure to check the box used for medical expenses or enter the partial amount on the worksheet.

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

Thanks for the reply.  But this still does not work.  I searched Form 8889 line by line numerous and could not find a place that I could enter the dollar amount and the distribution code.

"I searched Form 8889 line by line numerous and could not find a place that I could enter the dollar amount and the distribution code."

Are you in the right place? You start with the 1099-SA, for the distribution info.

Open the 1099SA worksheet and fill it in.  YOU dont enter any figures on the 8889 itself.

Got it!!!

Thank you for your suggestion.  As it turns out, I was entering the form number incorrectly in the "Forms Lookup".  Once I entered the correct form number, the Form 1040-SA Worksheet  popped up and I completed the form.

Thanks again.  Its been a long day.
