Enter your W-2 in TurboTax as it is reported to you, no additions or subtractions.
Code D amount is the contribution to your regular 401(k), which is not included in Box 1 taxable wages.
Code AA amount is the contribution to your Roth 401(k), which is included in Box 1 taxable wages.
If you want to lower your taxable income so that you can qualify for government programs, you should switch from Roth 401(k) to regular 401(k). Make this change with your payroll. This applies to 2022 and onward only.
For the tax year 2021, you can still set up a Traditional IRA account and contribute $6,000, assuming you are under age 50 and your income is under the limit for deductible IRA contributions. But you have to set it up and fund the account by 4/18/2022.
