Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No, unfortunately, as of April 15, 2022 (or whatever the due date was for 2021), you were no longer able to correct the excess contribution by simply withdrawing the "excess". So do NOT ask the HSA custodian to refund the money as an excess contribution.
Instead, you have to go through those painful questions asking what your contributions were for 2021, your HDHP coverage, etc.
IRS Pub 969: If you fail to remain an eligible individual during the testing period, for reasons other than death or becoming disabled, you will have to include in income the total contributions made to your HSA that wouldn’t have been made except for the last-month rule. You include this amount in your income in the year in which you fail to be an eligible individual. This amount is also subject to a 10% additional tax. The income and additional tax are calculated on Form 8889, Part III.
NOTE that both underlined items about are done automatically by TurboTax. Once you have finished the "Failure to Maintain HDHP coverage" questions, you are done with this.
