State not calculating right
It also didn't add in the amount of our HSA credit on our Federal form so I had to enter that manually as well.

State not calculating right
I cannot address your state issue since I don't know which state you are referring to.
But your HSA situation is likely due to one of two reasons:
1. If you contributed to your HSA through a payroll deduction program, then your contributions are removed from Wages in boxes 1, 3, and 5 on your W-2. That's why the deduction for the HSA contributions doesn't show up on your return - because it was removed from Wages before they ever got on your return.
Note that these contributions are added to any employer contributions (IRS requirement) and called the "employer contribution". This is reported on form 8889 but not on the 1040.
The only HSA contributions that get reported on Schedule 1 (1040) are contributions that you made outside of your employer with after-tax dollars.
If you manually entered your contributions made by payroll deduction onto line 12 of Schedule 1 (1040), then you have made a mistake and over-deducted your contribution.
2. The second alternative is that you did not complete the HSA interview (i.e., go all the way through until you return to the Your Tax Breaks screen) - not finishing the HSA interview causes anomalous results.

State not calculating right
I hate to say this but if you did, you may need to amend the returns for 2013, 2014, and 2015, to remove that deduction. It's a bit difficult to predict the result, because it will depend on whether or not you had excess contributions and withdrew them, or let the excess carry over to the next year causing a 6% excise tax, but to prepare you, you may owe tax for each year.
As for Missouri, did you do Illinois first? In most cases (naturally, there are exceptions), you do the non-resident state first so that its tax can carry to your resident state. I know that Illinois tax gets deducted in Missouri (I did it earlier this year, although I don't remember the exact details), so make another pass and see if it works...
