California HSA Contribution included on my W-2 line 16 , it appears that TurboTax added it again?

California HSA Contribution is already included on my W-2 CA line 16, it appears that TurboTax added it again? How can I correct?

California does not allow you to exclude HSA contributions from your state taxable income. I'm sure the extra taxes the state collects pays for something useful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you. Upon closer inspection, I saw that although the HSA was included on Line 16 of my W2, TurboTax utilized my Federal AGI as the starting point for calculating CA taxable income before adding the HSA employer contribution. Therefore HSA was not included twice.
