No.  If this is part of an accountability plan, where they reimburse you for the use you have for work after you give them your bill, you would not need to enter it as income.   Also, any income you do receive that is taxable from the employer, should be included on your W-2. 

That would be the amount of overtime pay. The income for overtime pay is exempt on your Alabama return.  Box 16 for state wages should already be adjusted and not include the income for those hours.    @planetprabhu  @madmansamhatesusall 

tax128   The state wages (box 16) is often different from box 1 (federal wages) because NJ does not allow some of the exclusions that are allowed on the federal return. For example, NJ does not allow HSA contributions, most retirement plan contributions (except for a 401(k), and most Section 125 cafeteria plan exclusions.   Box 18 would have an entry if your employer withheld for a city tax in New Jersey - did that happen?   As for how it is possible for you to get different messages for different years, the error checks can be updated from year to year, depending on the need.     @tax128  

Your AGI is not on the W2.  You need your 2023 AGI to efile 2024. The AGI is on 2023 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse.

somehow I missed this one.    For 2023   "On your 2023 return you will have to edit that you didn't withdraw the excess contribution by the due date and TurboTax will calculate the 6% penalty. You have to pay the 6% penalty on the contribution since you didn't remove the earnings. You can only avoid the 6% penalty if you withdraw the excess contribution plus earnings."   are you saying I have to pay 6% on the 7500 and the earnings?! omigod! that wasnt even my mistake. thats a lot of money. The excess contribution was withdrawn right away; it was by the due date. I put it in on February 2024 and withdrawn soon after, before 4-15-2024. The earnings were withdrawn by me before 4-15-25. I did withdraw both, just one was by the due date and the other after. That is terrible. can you explain further? is that state tax 6% or just fed tax? since this was custodian's fault do I have recourse? a way to file a complaint??   also re 2024 return- the excess earnings are taken out. Is it necessary to contribute to 2025 by due date ( today) or can I do it later in 2025 so that it counts as applying the distribution. I did not request an extension ( sadly) - I know I could have done it then. I prefer not to do it at all and do 1 of the other things you suggested, esp since I have to work a few hrs in retirement to be eligible for it. But crucial question - do I have to make the contribution today? thanks so much.  I should have extended- I am already amending. I think I was so tired not sleeping that I made that mistake. and with Direct pay it's not even necessary to request the extension for uS.
