I'm still confused about excess 401K deferrals.  I changed employers in 2021 and thus over contributed to the 401Ks.  I notified both employers who referred me Fidelity who has informed me it's too late to make changes.  So I added the amount to Other income s instructed when I completed my 2021 return.  Do I need to go back to one of the employers and have them do something?  Back to Fidelity?  How will one 401K plan know that the other over-deferred?  Do I just forget about it as I have reported the excess deferral as income in 2021?  I don't understand what my next step is if anything.  Thanks for any help you can provide.
