My wife's employer did not stop the 403(b) contributions at the $31,000 maximum for 2025. We did request the file a Return of Excess Contribution with the 403(b) and that they correct the W-2. They sent us the corrected W-2, and the 403(b) provider said they are sending us the check to return the Excess Contributions. We haven't received the check first, but we trust it is on its way. However, we are not confident that the 403(b) is prioritizing fixing the error on time for Tax Year 2025. We are not clear about what it is they have to do, but when we called them, they made it sounds like they were in no rush and may only make the rectification in Tax Year 2026. We'd rather have it fixed right away since we picked it up on time. Can you please advise what is the relevant process to get this error fully rectified in Tax Year 2025, and what to ask who?
