TurboTax says I overcontributed to HSA in 2025, but I qualify for last-month rule and contributed exactly the limit

TurboTax is telling me I have an excess HSA contribution of $3,419 for 2025, and I’m trying to understand why.

Here is my full situation:

2024:

  • I was covered under my parents’ family HDHP for all 12 months (Jan–Dec 2024)

  • I was not claimed as a dependent

  • I personally contributed $4,150 to my HSA (no employer contributions)

  • My Form 8889 shows:

    • Family coverage all 12 months

    • Contributions: $4,150

    • Excess contributions: $0

2025 coverage timeline:

  • Jan–Feb 2025: Family HDHP coverage (parents’ plan)

  • Mar–Aug 2025: No HDHP coverage (Got a job and that job's healthcare plan was not an HDHP)

  • Sep–Dec 2025: Self-only HDHP coverage through my new employer

  • I had self-only HDHP coverage on December 1, 2025

2025 contributions:

  • Employer contributions: $173

  • Personal contributions: $4127

  • No spouse

What I entered in TurboTax:

  • 2024 coverage: Family plan for all 12 months

  • 2025 coverage:

    • Jan–Feb: Family

    • Mar–Aug: None

    • Sep–Dec: Self-only

  • Spouse coverage: None for all months

  • Additional income under last-month rule: $0

My understanding:
Since I had self-only HDHP coverage on Dec 1, 2025, I should qualify for the last-month rule and be allowed to contribute the full self-only limit of $4,300.

However, TurboTax says my excess contribution is $3,419.

Questions:

  1. Should I qualify for the last-month rule in this situation?

  2. If so, why would TurboTax still show an excess contribution?

  3. Is there a specific question or screen I may have answered incorrectly?
