Both spouses over age 55 with separate HSA's

[saspengren]

I have spouses that have each contributed $4650 to their HSA's and reported it on their W-2 worksheets. They system is saying that there is a $1000 excess contribution but I don't know why. Any thoughts on what I need to differently?

They qualify for $ 3650 + $1000 for being 55 or older on 12/31/2022. Perhaps you entered something by accident. Is either one on Medicare

[saspengren]

No neither on Medicare and both have HSA's reported as W on their W-2s. This is the first year that spouse turned 55 so wondering if that's the issue. Its exactly the $1000 that the system is saying is an excess contribution.

Are the dates of birth entered correctly in the software?

Well ended up it was my input error and forgot to mark spouse's W-2 as spouse's W-2. 🙄 Thanks for your response!

Glad you solved the problem.

[saspengren]

yes DOB was entered correctly but I just hadn't marked the spouse's W-2 as the spouse's W-2. Thanks for your response though!

thanks and me too!
