on form 8889 -2017 with MFJ line 3-both 55+. both eligible full year. I need one 8889 for each person. Do both get the $3400+ $1000 (over 55)= $4400. or do we need to split it or only one take it. Any comments will be helpful. thanks.

If they had separate self-only insurance plans, then two 8889's and 1,000 bump up each.
If they had a plan with family coverage, then one 8889 and 1,000 bump up total. -
thanks that is what i was thinking-but good to be verified

Are you sure they will DD a 2017 return in 2019?

You realize even tho both had an HSA on a MFJ return they will only be allowed the max deduction in 2017 for a family plan. See the instructions for 8879: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i8889--2017.pdfComment
