Thank you so very much for the quick response. Yes, I'm over 55, have a HDHP thru workplace, the question in TurboTax is "Any contributions you personally made (not thru your employer)", I put $4,500 (thru payroll deduction). That caused the "excess contribution" msg, isn't it?
Yes, that is your mistake. All payroll contributions, whether from your or an employer match, are considered "through your employer." Remove that extra $4500.
