To verify, did you also receive a 2021 Form 1099-SA? What code?
An excess contribution on your 2021 tax return triggers that only the excess contribution is added in Other Income on Schedule 1 (assuming this was a contribution reported in box 12 of your W-2 with code W).
If, however, you made the HSA contribution as a direct contribution (not through your employer), then the excess is NOT added to Other Income - rather, the HSA deduction on Line 12 of Schedule 1 (1040) is reduced by the amount of the excess.
The earnings for this excess returned in 2022 shouldn't have been reported on your 2021 tax return.
