Get your taxes done using TurboTax
First, may I assume that neither of you are 55 or over yet?
Second, may I assume that only one of you has an HSA (HSAs are owned by the individual, there is no such thing as a family or joint HSA)?
Your $600 is clearly in excess by itself, so poke around in the HSA interview to see where you added another $600.
My guess on the $1,200 is that in your part of the HSA interview that on the screen headed by "Let's enter [your name]'s HSA contributions" that you entered $600 on the false assumption that you were supposed to enter "your" payroll deduction here, even though it was already listed above from box 12 on your W-2 with a code of W.
Once you enter the W-2, you should not enter any part of the box 12 amount anywhere else on the return. That second line is referring to HSA contributions that you made directly to your HSA, NOT through the employer.
