Last night when i tried to complete my taxes i got a message saying i cant complete them until form 8889 is ready. I know this has to do with my HSA but i am not withdrawing any money from it. Can i continue without it?

No, wait on the Form 8889. You can check the links below for state and IRS form availability dates.

Form 8889 is used by the IRS to:

Report health savings account (HSA) contributions (including those made on your behalf and employer contributions),
Figure your HSA deduction,
Report distributions from HSAs, and
Figure amounts you must include in income and additional tax you may owe if you fail to be an eligible individual.
