In my case, Turbotax is showing a contribution by me that is within the limits of my HSA, but I have not made any contributions since I retired. My previous employer has continued to make a $500/yearly contribution which is documented on the W-2 that I have received for the past 2 years. My income from my previous employer is $0 on my W-2 while still having the $500 HSA contribution for the same 2 years. Turbotax completed Form 8889 with a full contribution by me and the $500 from previous employer which does not reflect the data I entered ($0) while proceeding through the questions. I am uncertain how to correct the entry on the Form 8889 or how the inaccurate information affects the Tax Return.  Additionally, I was required to submit a paper copy of my Tas Return.

You don't need to amend for that. The IRS has been adjusting returns for the missing taxable amount of SS on 1040/1040SR line 6b and reducing your refund or sending you a bill. That's been a common error this year. It's due to skipping the next screen about if you lived in a Foreign Country or answering it wrong. That's why it's important and good before you file to check your return line by line with last year and you might have seen that the taxable Social Security on line 6b was missing if it was taxable before. Then you could have questioned it.   And only up to 85% of SS can be taxable on 1040 line 6b.

After you entered your Social Security benefits reported on a SSA-1099 there was a following screen which asked if you lived in any of the foreign countries listed.  If you indicated Yes or skipped over this screen then none of your Social Security benefits were taxed on your federal tax return.  If you did not live in any of those foreign countries then the IRS is correct.
