Get your taxes done using TurboTax
since the problem goes back to 2013 you would be wise to see a pro to figure out what happened and whether or not you really have an excess HSA contribution for 2013-2019. HSA's are a bit complicated. for example, if you had an HSA and an HDHP but your spouse was covered by a general-purpose FSA, both of your HSA's contribution limit for that year is $0. we also don't know if you or your spouse are over 55 and each had an HSA for the year, this could allow an extra $1,000 to be contributed to each HSA assuming you qualify to have HSA's
assuming you qualify to have HSAs and you're both are over 55 then the 2019 limit is $7,000 split any way you want among the HSA's but the extra $1,000 must be to each of your HSA's giving you a total allowable contribution of $9,000. assuming you're both over 55 if your employer contributed $4800 to your HSA and your spouse's employer contributed zero to hers then you can contribute up to $3200 to your HSA or split it any way you want between the two accounts. in addition, a $1,000 over 55 contribution can be made to her HSA. under this scenario you would be entitled to a $4200 HSA deduction since this is coming from personal funds (employer contributions including any money taken out of your wages reduce taxable wages so you get no deduction for them)
