Deductions & credits
You are describing two separate issues; let's take the second one first.
"I responded previously in the part for entering the 1099-SA form that the gross distribution and earnings on excess contributions were $0.00 He took no money out. "
If your spouse did not take any money out of the HSA (nor had an excess contribution in 2018 that he withdrew before the due date of the return), then he should not have received a 1099-SA. If he did not receive a 1099-SA, you should not have indicated in the HSA interview that he did, so you would not have seen these questions about medical expenses.
So did your spouse receive a 1099-SA or not?
Note: if you spent no money from the HSA, it's OK to say that it was all for qualified medical expenses - but you probably should not have even seen this question.
The other issue (the first one you raised) is puzzling. You said:
"I entered all information correctly from box 12 of his W2 into program. I then moved to the deductions section. He took no money out of his account. What I don't understand is when I get to the part about entering his contributions, (2019 employer and payroll contributions- Box 12 of your W-2), the amount is already filled in with a $0.00 "
On the screen headed by "Let's enter [name]' HSA's contributions", the first line (Employer contribution) should have had the number on the W-2 in box 12 with a code of W. Are you saying that it did not? Did your spouse's W-2 have a code W in box 12?
The second line you should leave blank unless you two made any contributions directly to the HSA (not through your employer). Don't put any part of the code W amount on that second line.
If this doesn't make sense, please come back and tell me what the code W amount is and what is on the "Let's enter [name]'s contributions screen.
