Retirement tax questions
It seems like your Form 1099-R isn't correct if it only shows the gains in box 2a. Form 1099-R instructions state: "Corrective distributions. Enter in box 2a the amount of excess deferrals, excess contributions, or excess aggregate contributions (other than employee contributions or designated Roth contributions)."
Since this was a 2024 excess deferral removed in 2024 both the excess deferral and the gains need to be added to your wages on line 1h.
You can add the excess deferral amount to line 1h with the steps below:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click "Wages & Income" (under Federal) on 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 "2024 Excess 401(k) Deferrals" for the description, enter the amount and click "Done".
