HSA excess contribution
After inputting my HSA information in FreeTaxUSA, I get a message that (roughly $950) of my HSA contributions are considered excess contributions. I was told that if you are over the age of 55, you can contribute an extra $1000 a year…which I did. The system doesn't seem to take my age into account. It seems to adjust what my return will be…subject to additional tax. I can't think of a way to get around this without changing the HSA contribution amount that my tax documents show (which I don't want to do). Is there a workaround for this or am I missing something?
Thank you.

Hello Matthew,
You are correct. Somehow, my birthdate was completely off. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Take care!
Kyle
