Deductions & credits
Is it possible that you two entered the spouse's data first BEFORE you marked that you would be filing married separately?
Once you change the filing status to MFS, it should not even be possible to mark 3a as "Family" on the 8889-S, because your spouse's HSA questions will not even appear.
First, have you tried to delete Form 8889-S? Online, you click on Tax Tools on the left, then Tools underneath it, then Delete a Form in the center. If you have the CD/download software, go to Forms (upper right), on the left column look for 8889-s, click on it, then click on the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form viewer.
If that doesn't work, I suggest deleting your spouse and re-adding him/her.
