    It depends on the specific circumstances. 

     

    Here are some common reasons why TurboTax might show your health care coverage as lapsed:

    • Incorrect Information: If you or your spouse had a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) but did not have a Health Savings Account (HSA), TurboTax might incorrectly flag a lapse
    • Data Entry Errors: Ensure all information is entered correctly, especially regarding the type of health plan and coverage periods

    To resolve this, you can:

    • Review Your Entries: Double-check the information you entered for health insurance coverage.
    • Take a closer look at the question on the screen just prior to the one telling you there was a lapse in coverage (see screen shot below)
    • If both you and your spouse are covered under the same family plan, then the person with the HDHP in their name will indicate they had a family plan.  The other person will indicate they had None because the HDHP was not in their name.
