Get your taxes done using TurboTax
1. The Line 1 issue in the Review (where you must choose Self or Family as your HDHP coverage) is due to the mistaken assumption that if you are in the HSA interview, then you must have HDHP coverage.
However, since you went through the HSA interview, you must have told TurboTax that you did not have HDHP coverage or had conflicting coverage (like Medicare) all 12 months of the year. TurboTax bases its calculations on this, not the entry on line 1 on the 8889. Therefore, feel free to enter Self on line 1 of the question in the Review, because it will have no effect on the calculations, but will allow you to get past this question in the Review.
2. There is an issue with the 8889 and the 5329 concerning carryover excess HSA contributions. Please see this article.
