Are you saying that TurboTax told you that you had $500 in excess HSA contributions in 2023?
Assuming this to be the case:
1. line 2 on the 8889 s/b the $2,000 that you originally contributed.
2. Line 14a should be $500 plus any distributions for qualified medical expenses (you did not mention if you had any).
3. Line 14b (not that you asked) should be the $500 in excess contributions withdrawn by the due date.
4. Line 13 on Schedule 1 should be $1,500 (i.e., the actual personal deduction that was not in excess).
5. Line 26 on Schedule 1 should also be $1,500 plus any other adjustments on lines 11 through 25, not including line 13.
Note: TurboTax should have asked you if the excess was from your direct contribution or from your W-2. The reason is that these contributions, when in excess, are treated differently. I am assuming that you told TurboTax that your direct contribution of $2,000 was in excess. All the answers above would be different otherwise.
If so, let us know and we will update this answer.
