I followed the instructions in "Steps to Take to Remove an Excess Salary Deferral." However, Smart Check flags that I have over-contributed on my W2's and doesn't associate that the steps taken in the above instructions resolved the problem. How do I tell TurboTax that this issue is resolved? Is there another step I need to follow?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You have taken the right steps to include the amount of the excess deferral on your 2018 Tax Return.
At this point, you are running into an e-filing issue within TurboTax. An update to fix the issue is expected to be released around 4/5/2019. You can check out this TurboTax FAQ for more information: Excess 401(k) Contribution Preventing E-filing.
Be sure to sign up for updates to be alerted as soon as there is a solution. If you do not want to wait for an update, you have the option to paper file your tax returns as this is only an e-filing issue.
