Retirement tax questions
You must include the excess deferral in your wages in the year the excess deferral happened.
Please follow the steps below to report your excess deferral:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click "Federal" from the left side of your screen
- Scroll down to "Less Common Income" and click "Show More"
- Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C" and click "Start"
- Select "Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099" and click "Start"
- On the "Did you receive any other wages?" screen answer "Yes" and click "Continue"
- Continue until you get to the "Any other earned income" screen, answer "Yes" and click "Continue"
- On the "Enter Source of Other Earned income" screen select "Other" and click "Continue"
- On the "Any Other Earned Income" screen enter "2021 Excess 401(k) Deferrals" for the description, enter the amount and click "Done".
If you receive the distribution of the excess deferral and earnings then please note for the Tax Year 2022 tax filing due April 15, 2023:
2022 Forms 1099-R will be issued reporting the excess.
- Form 1099-R with code P in box 7 can be ignored if you reported the excess as described above in 2021.
- However, the earnings on Form 1099-R with Code 8 in box 7 should be reported in 2022.
Since the excess deferral is added to your regular wages on line 1, it will be taxable income on your state return.
