"I just noticed that the excess was added to my 2019 taxable income and was taxed. How to i fix that? Amend 2019 somehow? "

 

There is nothing to fix. 

 

I presume that the HSA contributions were in box 12 with a code of W on you W-2, right?

 

If so, then the code W amount was removed from Wages in boxes 1, 3, and 5 on your W-2 before your your W-2 was printed. 

 

But excess contributions are not tax-deductible. Since the W-2 already made them deductible, they have to be added back to income, and they are, to line 8 (Other Income) of Schedule 1 (1040). So this is correct.

 

To repeat, there is nothing to fix or amend.
