Deductions & credits
OK, now I understand.
You haven't done the HSA interview, so you haven't indicated that you have HDHP coverage. And as soon as you enter the W-2, TurboTax knows that you or your employer contributed $7,300, and without the HDHP coverage, all of the $7,300 is excess.
It will stop being excess when you complete the HSA interview showing that you have HDHP coverage.
But is the first thing you did was go look at the Carryover Worksheet? When you said that TurboTax had said that you had excess, I assumed that you did it the normal way - go through the HSA interview and get told about the excess by TurboTax.
OK, don't worry about the $7,300 carryover on line 11a or b for 2023 - that will go away when you complete the HSA interview.
As for the $7,300 on line 11 a or b for 2022, is it at all possible that you did something like amend your return or do multiple passes on your return, with one of them having an excess of $7,300? When you did the carryover of the 2022 return to 2023, it would transfer the data in whatever state it was in, which might not have been the state you filed it in. That is, if you file your return, the IRS gets that copy, but if you modify your return afterwards, TurboTax would have no way to know that this wasn't what you filed. I don't know why that number would be there for 2022 otherwise.
And if you did mess with your 2022 TurboTax return after filing, put it back the way it was and remigrate the 2022 return to 2023.
I don't know why the two spouses got switched, either.
