Deductions & credits
Check your contribution amounts. While your overall family limit is $8200, your personal limits are $7100 (under age 55) and $8100 (55 and over) so the extra $1000 can only be contributed into an account in your spouse's name.
Check the account assignments (ownership). Each HSA has only one owner, there are no joint accounts. If both accounts are in your name, your limit is still $7100. Your spouse needs a separate account in his own name for the other $1000 contribution. If he is covered by an HDHP and has no other disqualifying coverage, he can have an account in his name even if he is not the primary insured person. If you have two accounts in your name, you will need to open an account in his name, do a withdrawal of excess contribution from your account, and make a 2020 contribution to his account before April 15. If you do have accounts in both your names, make sure the Turbotax program has correctly assigned the ownership of each account.
Check your husband's date of birth in the personal info section.
