Retirement tax questions

If you were over age 50 at the end of 2022, you do not have an excess contribution because you are allowed a catch-up contribution of $6,500.

 

If you were under age 50 at the end of 2022, yes, you have exceeded the employee contribution limit and the excess $360 is deemed to be in the traditional account [not the designated Roth account as I had originally posted].  Your employer should have prevented this and risks disqualifying the plan by allowing this.  Notify the employer as soon as possible to obtain a corrective distribution.
