Form 8889 line 116 says "Subtract line 15 from line 14c. If zero or less, enter -0-. Also, include this amount in the total on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part 1, line 8f. Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part 1, line 8f says "Income from form 8889". Turbo tax does not put the correct amount on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), Part 1, line 8f, it's entering a larger number. The lines after line 16 on the 8889 all add up to 0 so there should be nothing else to add.

"The lines after line 16 on the 8889 all add up to 0 " - just to confirm, these lines add up to zero, or ARE zero?

As you seem to already know, lines 16 and 20 on the 8889 get added together to go on 8f on Schedule 1. But this isn't working for you, since the number in 8f (schedule 1) is not equal to lines 16 + 20 on the 8889.

Unfortunately since we in the Community cannot see your private tax data but know only what you can tell us, I have to start a game of twenty questions.

What is the difference between the amount on line 16 (8889) and line 8f (Schedule 1)? Does this number appear elsewhere on your return?

Let me also assure you that I have been answering HSA questions for 8 years now, and I have never seen this error, so we will be able to work it out.
