Greetings, Charles Schwab reported the 2024 maturity of a Treasury security on Form 1099-B.  For this question, let's say I purchased it at $900 and it matured at $1,000.  I uploaded the 1099 electronically on TurboTax.  TurboTax reflects the proceeds and cost basis on line 1b of Schedule D and the $100 difference they reported as a negative $100 on that same line in column g (so no gain for this item flows from Schedule D to the 1040).  TurboTax then placed the $100 on Schedule B as "US Treasury Interest *Matured* Accrued Market Discount" and from there it flows up to the 1040 as taxable interest income. On the California return TurboTax did not include the $100 on the CA Interest and Dividend Adjustment Worksheet, so the amount is being taxed by CA. I am looking for a way to fix this if one exists. Any help with a fix or informing me that the only solution is an override.  I already have an amount on the CA Int-Div Adj WS on Line 1 Col B (I think this is the actual interest I received on the bond. Many thanks for any suggestions.

Here is my situation I have changed job during year 2025. I have invested in 401k through both employers.  Second employer has better match than first employer.  I expect that I will exceed limit for 401k contribution for the year.   Question Should I just call my previous employer during 2025 itself and return excess contribution that I expect, or can I do that after year 2025 ends?   Implications If I can call them after 2025 ends, I can calculate precise amount for my previous employer to exclude from 401k. If I must call them before year ends, I will end up making an educated guess of my total 401k contribution for the year.
