Good call, I think that's the best workaround you've got at this point.  I was actually starting to hypothesize a similar workaround while I was eating dinner, just reduce on of the other deductions to bring it back in line.  I had been thinking the Misc 2% deductions so it wouldn't mess up the federal return (before I knew you were taking the std deduction), but that could get difficult because of that 2% threshold.

Please do call them. I personally want it fixed before I retire and start withdrawing from my HSA in about 25 years for all of this year's medical expenses. 😜
