How to address Excess HSA contribution and overcome Form 8889-T issue

Hi, experts:

Neither my family nor I had a HPDP health plan in 2024 but my employer made an erroneous contribution to my HSA account.  I just realize the employer's mistake. I plan to notify the employer to correct W2 and will also work with HSA company to withdraw the excess contribution and any earning in 2024 before April 15 filing date.

I entered the HSA information in Turbo Tax, including the excess contribution and plan to withdraw before April 15.  However, Form 8889-T kept asking me to pick either "self" or "family" for a HPDP plan.  When I run Turbo Tax Federal review, it shows an error for this.  How do I overcome this issue to make the error go away?  If it persists, can I just submit the Turbo Tax electronically by ignoring this error?

Thanks
