"I opened our 2021 8889 forms. Under the category of my husband's contribution amount it asks how much was allocated to his spouse in 2020." Are you saying that on the 2021 8889, there is a line referring to your spouse's 2020 8889? What line are you referring to?
"This should not have been an issue because $887 is still within the $1000 catch-up amount provided for my husband. "
The $1,000 "bonus" gets prorated just like the annual HSA contribution limit, if that is applicable.
So, on what day did you two get HDHP coverage in 2020? The day is important because the insurance you had on the first day of the month determines your coverage for the month.
How much did you contribute in 2021? (I see that it was zero in 2020).
I feel like something is missing here...
