Deductions & credits
I agree with everything Opus 17 said.
With $4,050 shown on line 48 of your 2021 Form 5329, the only ways for it to no show up on line 42 of your 2022 Form 5329 is if you did not transfer in your 2021 tax file to begin your 2022 tax return, you told 2022 TurboTax that you had no excess shown on line 48 of your 2021 Form 5329 either by changing the value to zero or deleting the entry, or you somehow deleted the entire Carryover Worksheet. Given that nobody else has reported such a problem, it's unlikely that a TurboTax bug is responsible.
To make the correction, simply tell 2022 TurboTax in the HSA section that you have a $4,050 excess contribution carried in from 2021.
As Opus 17 indicated, the excess contribution and penalty will persist year after year until you either spend the HSA down to zero or you make a taxable (not applied to medical expenses) distribution of $4,050. The only reason that you might want to delay obtaining that distribution is if you are not yet age 65 but will be age 65 in the next year or two. A taxable distribution made before you reach age 65 is subject to a 20% extra tax and paying the 6% excess contribution penalty for up to another 3 years would be less than that.
