Deductions & credits

I can't seem to resolve what should be a simple issue on my Form 8889. I made contributions through my W-2 of $5,171 which do show up on Line 9. I also made a $2,000 direct contribution to my HSA (family), which is on Line 2. I had a Family HSA and HDHP for the entire 12 months, but TurboTax is telling me that I have over contributed by $1,871. Any idea why this is happening? I should be able to make the full contribution of $7,171 and get the deduction for the $2,000 that wasn't on my W-2.
