You accidently overcontributed to your HSAs because of the way that Family coverage works.
While it is true that your share the Family annual HSA contribution limit, you two don't each have your own limit. Look at it this way, if you each had Family coverage for one month, $7,300 times one month divided by 12 equals $608.33. That is, you share this amount for the first month of the year, you don't each get your own $608.33. If one of you gets the $608.33, then the other gets zero for that month.
So if you get 1,217 for Jan-Feb, then there is zero for your spouse. Your spouse gets only the 608.33 for March. However, the way that TurboTax works, the HSA contribution for Family is calculated for you and then all of it is sent over to your spouse (the bonus amounts are not shared so are dealt with separately). This is why you appear to have the excess contribution because your annual HSA contribution limit is 167 (that is, your Family amount is reduced to zero so all you have is the bonus amount).
Make sense?
