Get your taxes done using TurboTax
OK. The problem is that TurboTax thinks you have an excess from 2019 (or earlier).
So, how to fix?
The first thing I would do is what I call a Reset for the HSA. This is a process that deletes all HSA data on your return, in case you entered something you didn't mean to.
***RESET***
1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies)
2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen)
*** Desktop***
3. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.
*** Online ***
3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form
4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)
5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually
6. go back and redo the entire HSA interview and see if the problem has gone away.
***Other Thoughts***
First, when you see the question, "Did you overfund your HSA last year?", be sure to answer NO.
Second, do you have the CD/download software? If so, can you go into Forms mode and look for the Carryover Worksheet? The worksheet has a line for excess HSA contributions that are carried over. If you can see the worksheet and there is a carryover listed, then came back and tell us, because we'll have to think if something else (deleting the worksheet can be dangerous because there is potentially a lot of stuff on it).
