Turbo tax states i have excess HSA contribution. But I contributed only 4150 in 2024 (includes employer contributions)

the contributions should be code 12W on your w-2 which carries automatically to form 8889 line 9. issues that can cause problems is not be covered by a HDHP for every month or entering the contributions, so they appear on line 2 of the tax form. this would result in doubling your contributions. also being covered by Medicare disqualifies a pro-rata contribution for the part of the year you're covered
