Retirement tax questions
Why do you think it's not showing up in the total? A regular elective deferral of $19,000 plus a $6,000 catch-up plus a $43,304 employer contribution would be way over the maximum permissible total of $62,000 for employee and employer contributions combined for someone over age 50. If you use the Maximize function in TurboTax, TurboTax would calculate a regular elective deferral of $19,000, a catch-up of $6,000, leaving a maximum permissible employer contribution of $37,000, assuming that you have a minimum of somewhere around $196,000 of net profit.
To see if the $6,000 is in the total you could try temporarily changing your year of birth in TurboTax to 1980 to make TurboTax think you are under age 50 and see if your self-employed retirement deduction drops.
