Hello,
I've tried e-filing my taxes and keep receiving this error message.
F8889-010 - Form 8889, 'TotalHSADeductionAmt' must be equal to the smaller of 'HSAContributionAmt' or 'HSALimitedContributionAmt'.
Please advise

You probably need to go back to the HSA section and edit your answers. Make sure that you did not enter any additional amounts for HSA contributions in that section, unless you made contributions in addition to the one on your W-2. The contributions from your W-2 (code W box 12) are automatically added in, and sometimes taxpayers enter their HSA contributions in that section again.
Revisit the section and then review this help article - Why am I showing an excess contribution to my HSA? How to get back there:
For 2023, the maximum combined total that you, your employer, and/or any other eligible person can contribute to your HSA account is:
Are you within these ranges?
This is because the IRS has implemented new checks on Form 8889 for 2023 and TurboTax does not report application of a prior-year excess contribution as a current-year contribution the way the IRS expects it to be reported. TurboTax developers will need to provide a fix for this problem.
