The account that put you over the top. But that makes no difference on your tax return since only the excess must be reported as wages in the tax year that the excess was made. Since yiu will not take it out and will not receive a 1099-R then report it as follows:
Excess 401(k) deferrals should be reported in:
(There are several screens to click through to get to the right place)
Miscellionious Income ->
Other Income not reported on a W-2 ->
Other wages (yes) ->
House Hold employee (Continue) ->
Sick Pay (Continue) ->
Other earned income (yes) (Includes excess salary deferrals)->
Source of income (other) ->
Any other income - enter the amount of the excess deferral and an explanation.
This will add the returned excess to your 2019 wages on line 1on the 1040 form.
