Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The 1099-R is only needed for IRAs, because your excess was a 401k, it was pretax on your W2 (as indicated) so you only have to add the income to correct.  You do not have to enter a 1099-R for this- you only have to report the income:

 

  1. Under Less Common Income, select Start or Revisit next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
  2. Select Start next to Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you receive any other wages?, then Continue.
  4. Continue until you get to the Any other earned income screen. Answer Yes and select Continue.
  5. On the Enter Source of Other Earned income screen, select Other and Continue.
  6. On the Any Other Earned Income screen, enter 2024 Excess 401(k) Deferrals for the description, enter the amount, and select Done.
