You are confusing the terms:

  • $18,000 is your elective deferral
  • $12,000 is your employer profit sharing contribution
  • $30,000 is the sum of your elective deferral and your employer contribution

Regarding your W-2:

  • Box 1 = $30,000
  • Boxes 3 and 5 = $48,000
  • Box 12 = code D, $18,000

Form 1120S should show:

  • line 8 [actually line 7 for officers of the company, see comments below] = $30,000
  • line 17 = $30,000

Form 941:

  •  line 2 = $30,000
  • Lines 5a and 5c = $48,000

I'm not familiar with Form 940, so I will refrain from commenting on that.
