Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Is it possible that you had a carryover excess HSA contribution from 2021? And is it possible that line 2 was blank and not 0 (zero)?
If so, TurboTax is applying your excess HSA contribution carryover (well, $100 of it, anyway) to your 2021 tax return. The issue that is confusing is that form 8889 doesn't have a good way to show this. So TurboTax treats the carryover as a direct contribution in line 2 but doesn't print it in line 2 (because you didn't contribute it in 2022, so that would generate even more questions).
The result is that the imaginary number in line 2 is larger than $100 in your case, so for line 13, the choice is correct - but it just doesn't show you why line 12 is smaller than line 2.
If that doesn't fit your situation, come back and tell us.
