In January, 2020, a client added to his 2019 HSA, but he has exceeded the 2019 HSA limit.  I cannot figure out how to remove the excess contribution amount before the return gets filed to avoid the penalty on Form 5329.  The only thing that seems to work is to exclude the excess contribution amount on line 2 of 8889.  That doesn't seem to make sense to me.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
