The message from TurboTax that you had an excess contribution in tax year 2019 means that so far as TurboTax has been told, you contributed more than the annual HSA contribution limit in 2019.
I do not know what "it was placed 1-2-2020" means - what was "placed" in 2020 and what does "placed" mean? contributed?
Your employer contribution to your HSA (that is, money contributed by your employer PLUS money contributed by you through payroll deduction) is what appears on your W-2 in box 12 with a code of W. This is money that your employer says was contributed for tax year 2019. Are you saying that that is not true?
Also, if you made any direct contributions to your HSA during 2019, you would report this during the HSA interview when you are asked about "personal" contributions.
In any case, please come back and clarify all this for us.
