I only contributed 1800. Why does it think I'm in excess?

Try the following steps to resolve this issue:

Within your federal taxes:

Go to Deductions & Credits, click Edit next to HSA, MSA Contributions
Check the box Health Savings Account (HSA) on next screen
Answer No to Did you use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for anything in 2021?
Answer No to Did you inherit this HSA?
Continue till you reach the screen that says Were you covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) in 2021, and select Yes, I was covered by an HDHP during at least one month during 2021.
Choose of the options under What type of HDHP coverage did you have during 2021?
On next screen, answer No to Did you overfund your HSA in 2020?
Click Done
