Excess contribution issue. 8889 with two HSA's, one a self only plan, one a family plan

chj63
Level 2

Taxpayers are married filing joint.  Both employers contributed $3550 for self only and $8025 for spouse with family plan.  Spouse is over 55.  Since $10625 is over maximum allowed for family plan amount of $7200, is there any remedy to avoid tax on excess contribution of $3425? 

Please help.  Thank you.  Hwan

Corrective distribution by 4/15.  Be sure to read up on it.  Also if they've already spent it, there is a provision that the penalty is based on the lesser of the excess contribution or the balance in the accounts.

Thank you for your pointer. I will read up on it and will come back if my solution approach is correct.  

Meantime, thank you.  Hwan
