Retirement tax questions

Thanks for replying macuse_22.

I thought the 4/5/2019 patch is to fix the excess contribution error after entering 1099-R. I used the "code P" method and intent to file it in the 2018 tax filing. But I still receive the elective deferrals error in the federal taxes Smart Check. Here is my example,

1. Over-contributed $200 in 2018 401(k)
2. Requested and received the 1099-R form for the $200 over contribution
3. Entered the 1099-R form info in "Retirement Plans and Social Security" section "IRA, 401 (k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)"
4. I still get the error about elective deferrals to qualified plans in 1040 form - 12b in the federal taxes Smart Check.

I was under the impression that there is no Smart Check error since I entered the $200 as an additional income through 1099-R.
