@yzgm09 - this is the #1 point of confusion as @Opus 17 perfectly stated.
"If you contributed via payroll deduction, that is already captured on your W-2, and you do not enter it later in the program when you are asked for additional contributions."
When the TT asks about your contributions, it means money you sent directly to the HSA.
The 'employer' contributions are what is listed with Code W on line 12 of your W-2. Even though that was your money from your wages, the IRS (and TT) calls that 'employer contributions' - and that is why it is confusing/
