What is an HSA excess contribution?

When is an HSA contribution considered overfunding?

[MindyB]

The maximum allowable HSA contribution depends on a few things- whether you had an individual or family plan ($4,150 and $8,300, respectively), your age (and additional $1,000 is allowed if you're 55 or older), and whether you had a high deductible plan the whole year or for only some months in the year.  When you and your employer's contributions exceed the maximum, you have overfunded your HSA.
