Retirement tax questions
You will need to add the excess to your wages even if you are not able to get the excess withdrawn. Please follow these steps:
- 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".
Please be aware, if you do not take out the excess amount by April 15th, then you are taxed twice on the excess deferral left in the plan. This happens once when you contribute it and again when you receive it as a distribution. You can't include the excess amount in the cost of the contract even though you included it in your income.
