Error on 2020- excess contributions

Working on my 2021 return using Home and Business, TurboTax tells me that I reported $7,900 in excess HSA contributions on my 2020 return. I am sure that this was a mistake (my mistake within TurboTax 2020). I will need to file an amended return for 2020. But my question is, WHERE within TurboTax Home and Business would I have mistakenly reported that I made excess HSA contributions?

HSA contributions could have been reported as an itemized deduction when you were going through the deductions and credits section or as a line item on your W2 if your HSA deductions are done as a payroll deduction.  Either way it was probably just a typo that you made on the entry.  Check those two places on your 2020 return and then send in the correction before you start your 2021 return.

     Duh. The website says that I need the 2020 software to amend a 2020 return?

     I would delete this altogether, if I knew how. I guess they'll dock me a couple levels.
