One way is for your 2021 return to show an excess that gets carried over to 2022. A second way is for you to answer the question in the HSA interview, "Did you overfund your HSA in 2021?" (You should have answered NO.)
Is there a chance that there was a code W on your 2021 W-2, which would set up the excess in 2021 (even if you did not realize what was happening)?
