HSA Overfunding Message Makes No Sense

I am getting a message that I have overfunded my HSA by $50. I don't know why.

Employer HSA Contributions are shown to be zero

I enter $3550 in HSA contributions for 2020

I was covered by an HDHP in 2020

I was covered by a self only plan

I did not overfund my HSA in 2019 ( I have no Form 5329 in 2019 return)

The 2020 contribution limit is $3550

I scrubbed through this post https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/health-care/help/why-am-i-showing-an-excess-hsa-contribution/00/26610

I have updated TurboTax today March 17, 2021.

What am I missing?

Solved this. Vipre Antivirus had to be completely shut off when updating. Not just Active Protection. Total shutdown.

what version of Turbotax are you using? that message would only make sense if you were using the 2019 app.

2019 can not be updated/used for 2020

@Mike9241 Thanks for trying to help. I am using 2020 for sure. Says it right at the top of the desktop application. Yes, it makes no sense. I am plumb out of ideas. Nobody else except somebody last November has posted on this problem so it has to be something about my install. I wonder if a complete update is failing and it is not getting that new limit for 2020. I have 2019 installed but I am definitely running 2020. Thinking about uninstalling all version and doing a reinstall but don't want to burn activations on the license
