Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The error is not exactly in the taxpayer's favor since, if TurboTax fails to recognize an actually excess contribution due to this bug, the excess-contribution penalties can accumulate without the taxpayer's knowledge.  At least the SECURE 2.0 Act has created a statute of limitations for the IRS to be able to assess excess-contribution penalties, but the IRS has not yet provided guidance on how that statute of limitations will be applied.
