I am not in a high deductible health plan (HDHP), but my employer put a few 100 $'s into an HSA (reported on my W2 box 12c with the W). Now turbotax won't let me submit

My employer, a major fortune 100 financial firm, gave everyone a small amount of money into a HSA, regardless of what type of health plan they selected.   I have a typical PPO health care plan.   I have never used the HSA money (its a few 100 dollars).      

Turbotax will not let me submit my taxes becuase it says I MUST say I had a HDHP at some point in time (which I did not) to be eligable for an HSA.    


Not sure what to do - as I can't control what my employer did.


The exact error I'm getting is "Form 8889-s: HDHP coverage check box nees to be checked to indicate the type of coverage held under a high-deductible plan during 2017." - but of course I had none!
