| HSA form 8889 with spouse contributing in 2008 for 2007 How should the following situation reported on forms 8889? TP & spouse had an HDHP and a family HSA account for all of 2007. Both are over 55 and they file a joint return. No employer is involved. Contribution to the family HSA account was $6,450 for 2007. In January 2008, spouse opens a self-only HSA account and contributes $800 in it as the over-55 additional contribution for 2007. So the 2007 contributions for the couple total $7,250, all of which should be deductible. Presumably, a second form 8889 is needed for spouse's HSA account. But what should go in Part I? -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |
