Did you receive Form 1099-SA? (Not 1099-SSA, which is Social Security).

No. I did not have an HSA in 2018. I had an FSA.

You will need to delete all of the information in the HSA section of the program. To do this, login to your return account, and then:

Type the word hsa into the Search Box (upper right hand corner with the magnifying glass)
Click on the Jump to HSA link
Go through the HSA interview section and delete all entries. This should remove the HSA.

If you have an FSA, you do not enter anything into the HSA section of the program. They are two different accounts. In fact, if your FSA is not reported in Box 10 of your W2 (to cover daycare expenses), you don't enter your FSA information at all. This is because an FSA has a "use it or lose it" requirement so it can never become income nor can it be used for a disallowed transaction. An HSA, on the other hand, can become income and does carry over from year to year.
