Yes. In order to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), you must be covered by a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).    The question in TurboTax is asking what type health insurance coverage you had with your employer-sponsored plan. Based on the information in your question, you would answer that as Family coverage.   See this TurboTax article for more information on HSAs.          
Yes.    You will receive a form 1099-R for a withdrawal from your deferred compensation account. This amount is taxable and you have to enter the form 1099-R in your tax return.
  Here's a post on the five main points on the  1098-T: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/re-what-do-i-do-with-form-1098t/01/3760212#M63114

The team has identified that you are getting that message because a state form is required and was not included in your return and they are still looking into it.  You can try to file the federal only for now and file your state later.   @neilfj  @danimee6 @sfowler   
You do not "need" that---it is an option that you do not have to choose.   You can pay your fees upfront using a credit or debit card to avoid extra "refund processing" fees, too.   
You would report this as interest earned.   Go to: Federal > Wages & Income. Locate: Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto). Action: Click Start or Add/Edit... See more...
You would report this as interest earned.   Go to: Federal > Wages & Income. Locate: Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto). Action: Click Start or Add/Edit.  Click Add investments then select Interest from the options. When asked how to upload, choose "Type it in myself." Received from: Enter the name of the foreign bank. Payer's ID (EIN): Leave this blank. The software may flag it as "Needs Review" later, but the IRS allows e-filing for foreign interest without an EIN. Box 1 (Taxable Interest): Enter the U.S. dollar equivalent of the interest you earned. If your interest is over $1,500, TurboTax will automatically generate Schedule B. This is where you must disclose the foreign nature of the account.    Part III (Foreign Accounts): After entering your interest, TurboTax will ask if you have a financial interest in a foreign country. You must answer YES. Country Code: You will be prompted to select the country where the account is held.  Failure to answer these questions correctly can trigger significant penalties, even if the tax amount is small.

It looks like you are posting from online software.   If you are using online, you only get one return per fee.  Each return needs its own account and user ID.   It is only with desktop download that you get five federal e-files for the purchase fee.     When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

You can see if you took the standard deduction by looking at line 12e of your 1040 Form.  If the amount matches the standard deduction amounts listed below line 12e, based on your filing status, then you took the standard deduction.  If the amount is something else, and you are NOT claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, then you likely itemized your return.  If you itemized, then you would have entered things like Mortgage Interest, Property Taxes you paid, and Medical Expenses.  If these would be greater than your standard deduction, then it is likely that you itemized and will see a completely different number than what is listed for the standard deduction on the form.   You can see your form 1040 by doing the following: TurboTax Online Version Select Tools. Go to Tax Tools. Select Preview My 1040 (or go to the print center). Alternatively, you can navigate to view your federal tax summary and Form 1040 by going to Tools > Tax Tools > View Tax Summary > Preview My 1040. TurboTax Desktop Version You can simply switch to forms mode.
You can delete any or all of the forms in your tax return by navigating in TurboTax Online:    Tax Home  Tax Tools  Tools  Delete a form

DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”   If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, or just never filed, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2024.
