Retirement tax questions

The retirement savings contribution credit is normally the result of an entry in box 12 of your W-2 form for code D "elective deferrals to section 401-K". It is based on your contribution to a retirement account.

 

You could leave that input out of your W-2 entry and it may resolve your issue.

 

You may need to delete form 8880 after you update the W-2 entry as follows:

  1. Tax tools (on the left menu bar)
  2. Tools
  3. Delete a form

Find form 8880 in the list and delete the form.
