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.
