Can I max out my 401K by contributing to an IRA outside of my work. I switched jobs mid year and I did not max out my 401K and the new job did not offer a 401k until 2024

No.

Contributions to your 401(k) can only be made by salary deferrals.

You are considered covered by a retirement plan at work for tax year 2023. You may be eligible to contribute to a deductible IRA, depending on your MAGI and your filing status.

See this IRS document.

I over contributed to my roth IRA for the past 3 years. I’m correcting that this year before it goes over. What tax form do I need to complete to pay the 6%
