Did you not have any "normal" HSA distributions in 2018 that would have generated a 1099-SA with a code of '1'? (you would have received this in early 2019 along with the other 1099-SA with the code of '2').
If not, then the amending 2018 won't work.
How about in tax year 2019? Did you make any distributions for medical expenses in 2019 so that you got the 1099-SA with distribution code of '1' this year? You can do the same thing here - say that part of the distribution (if the distribution is large enough) was not for qualified medical expenses.
In essence, the earliest time you get a 1099-SA with code '1', do this process of saying that some of it was not for qualified medical expenses, and you'll cut it off that year.
If you haven't gotten a 1099-SA with a code of '1' since whenever, then you will have to call the HSA custodian to take a distribution, so that you at last will see that question in the 1099-SA sub-interview (in early next year).
Honestly, I just assumed (yes, that's bad) that you had used your HSA at some point.
