Can turbotax account for my 15year additional 401k catch up

[bigsurgreg]

I am contributing $3000 per year, as allowed by the IRS to catch up using the 15 year allowance.  I did this last year with no issue. This year TurboTax says I over contributed, but that is not true.  How do I fix this?

How do I contact TurboTax? (intuit.com)

The IRS "15-year Special Catch-Up" applies only to 403(b) plans, not to 401(k)'s.  This IRS reference describes the allowable limits of those contributions:

Where are you trying to put these "catch up" payments in the program ?   There is no place to enter them so that may be your error.

I don't believe Turbotax has ever correctly handled the special $3000 catch-up for 403(b) plans.

Can you advise?

I agree.  TurboTax does flag the special catch-up as an excess contribution (exceeding the section 402(g) limit) but doesn't take any other action as far as I know.  TurboTax does not enforce the section 402(g) limit.
