Retirement tax questions

Until you've completed the HSA section of TurboTax to establish both your eligibility and her eligibility to make HSA contributions, TurboTax will treat the HSA contribution as an excess contribution.  Make sure that you have completed that section, indicating that she was covered by a family HDHP the entire year, not covered by any disqualifying coverage and that she cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
