HSA Excess Contribution from previous years is preventing completion of current tax year where I no longer have an HSA account

I’m trying to file my 2023 taxes and it won’t let me because I’m getting a validation error to check this entry.

 

“Form 8889-T: HDHP coverage check box needs to be checked to indicate the type of coverage held under a high-deductible plan during 2023.”

 

I haven’t had a HDHP in 2023. On the form it’s showing excess HSA contributions carried over from 2022 that are still in HSA. This excess contribution is actually from 2021. I chose to pay taxes on the excess contribution back in 2021 instead of withdrawing the excess contribution, but it showed up in my 2022 taxes, and now preventing me from completing my 2023 taxes.

 

Please advise.

 

I have worked for 3 companies in the last a few years.

 

Company A - until June 2021 - HDHP Plan / HSA Account with Benefit Wallet

Company B - from June 2021 until Dec 2022 - HDHP Plan / HSA Account with Bank of America

Company C - Jan 2023 - Current - Health Plan (Not HDHP) - No HSA account.

 

I have used all the money in Benefits Wallet account by 2022.

I still have money available in my Bank of America account.
