Get your taxes done using TurboTax

"Is there any obligation or method to pay the Social Security and Medicare tax that wasn't paid through my payroll checks on that excess $2,500?"

 

No. Seems like an oversight, but, no, you have no requirement to pay it back.

 

"Tell us if your excess HSA/MSA contribution was made by your employer and deducted from the wages in Box 1 of your W2."

 

What screen is asking this? Did you get a new excess contribution error message for 2020? I would not expect to see this question for a 2019 HSA excess contribution in the 2020 interview

 

"Did you overfund your HSA in 2019?"  I am answering "NO" since I put the excess back into taxable income for the 2019 return AND withdrew it by the due date of 7/15/2020. "

 

No is the correct answer, because you "cured" the excess contribution by asking for the withdrawal of the excess by the due date of the 2019 return.
