If your spouse made contributions to an HSA, that affects your contribution limit as well.
You need to know a couple of basic points. First, an HSA is an individual account, there are no joint accounts even though you might have family or joint medical insurance. And second, if your spouse is covered by your HSA-eligible HDHP, and does not have other disqualifying coverage, then your spouse is eligible to contribute to an HSA in their own name even though the insurance coverage is in your name. If you are covered by a family HDHP, then your spouse is automatically considered to be covered by a family HDHP.
however, your annual contribution limit is shared. If you are both under age 55, then the maximum that you can contribute to an HSA if you are covered by a family HDHP is $7200. That can be split anyway you choose. For example, it might all be contributed to your HSA through your employer. Or, you might contribute $4200 through your employer and your spouse could open a private HSA at almost any bank that offers them, and contribute $3000 out-of-pocket and take the tax deduction. So TurboTax may want to know whether your spouse made any contributions to an HSA in their name because that affects the limit of contributions that you can make to your HSA.
(This is a separate issue from any confusion that might have arisen if you entered your or your spouses W-2 incorrectly and indicated a box 12 item with code W for your spouse by accident.)
