Question

Where does the amount on my HSA deduction come from? Where does Turbo Tax get that number from or is that standard?

Are you referring to the HSA deduction on Schedule 1 line 13? It is basically the amount that you contributed to your HSA yourself, other than contributions taken from your pay as an employee. The deduction is calculated in Part I of Form 8889. The amount on Schedule 1 line 13 is transferred from Form 8889 line 13.

If you are self employed the deduction could be limited to your profit on the Sch C minus 1/2 of the SE tax. The balance would be sent to the Sch A if you itemize deductions.
