I  have a client that is clearly over 55 (she's 60) and is entitled to the extra $1,000 HSA contribution bringing the total to $4,550.  (See IRS publication page 6)  For some reason Pro Series is assessing a penalty on form 5329 and should not.  Why is that and how do I correct it..

Thanks In advance for your help.

yes, that's what it looks like.


And youve got a W2 with a Code W on Box 12 on it with an amount that's 4550 or less on it?

did you go to the 8889 and check the box for Self in the Line 3 Smart worksheet below Line 2?

Yes, and when I check "Self-only" it populates with $3,550.

scroll down the screen a bit more, Line 3 should have the 4550 on it...

Try deleting and re-entering her date of birth.  And make sure it's before 1965.

Then maybe delete the 8889, and the 5329 while you're at it, and try opening them again?  Maybe delete the W-2 entry for HSA contributions also.
