Retirement tax questions

On the W-2, Box 12 Code D is for Elective Deferrals to a 401(k) plan.  Is it possible you contributed  $19,805.66 to your retirement plan?   It could be that the comma printed out very lightly or not at all..

 

You can subtract the amount in Box 1 from the amount in Box 3.  It should give you the amount in Box 12, Code D (or close to it).

 

To be sure, contact your payroll office.
