Excess contributions to 401K
Good Afternoon
I hope you are doing well during this pandemic.
In 2018 I contributed more than the max allowed 401K contribution due to having 2 employers.
I did include the taxable overage on my 2018 taxes (although I think I used a wrong figure and will likely have to amend those taxes).
I did receive 1099 R forms and did populate all the boxes needed for my 2019 returns on my turbo tax forms. I did have a loss from the excess deferral that I took out last year. My question is where to report this amount in my 2019 return. The letter fromFidelity states " the loss attributable to your excess deferral may be reported as a negative amount on the Other Income line of your 2019 Federal and State (if applicable) income tax returns." I tried to place this value in different areas of other income, but keep receiving errors. What is your recommendation.
Thank you for your assistance.
