Only the person with the distribution on a 1099-sa files an 8889 ... the -S & -T just indicate it belongs to the Taxpayer or Spouse and is a TT indicator only ... the IRS doesn't use those indicators.

My Spouse has a HSA , received 1099-SA, is the primary in the HDHP for family in which I am covered.

Turbotax has filled up 8889-S based on the information from my spouse's 1099-SA.

Do I need to fill up form 8889-T ?

I do not have a HSA but I am covered under the same family HDHP.
