2. Withdraw Excess Contributions: Withdraw the excess contributions along with any earnings on those contributions before the tax deadline.

3. File an Excess Contribution Removal: Fill out an Excess Contribution Removal form from your HSA provider to document the withdrawal of excess contributions.
