Retirement tax questions

I assume that because you mention Net Earnings, you are a sole proprietor.  With no net profit, no solo 401(k) is permitted.  Unless corrected by a proper return of excess contribution, the contribution is subject to a 10% (not 6%) excess contribution penalty on Form 5330.  TurboTax does not support Form 5330.

 

You need to ask the brokerage what you need to do to obtain a return of the excess contribution.
