Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Can you tell me where in TT do I indicate I was eligible for retirement plan additional catchup contribution because of my 15+ years with my employer?

This should show up on your W-2 as a reduction in Taxable income and a contribution to you 403(b).

I'm not aware of any addition entries that you would have to make.

Are you getting any error message?

Yes, the software indicates I need to Fix my information because I have exceeded the $30K limit.  My hr retirement coordinator indicates because I am over a certain age and have more than 15 years service with my employer I am allowed an additional $3K catch up (for a limit of $33K).  Do I just file my taxes and wait for IRS to question it? Seems like Turbo Tax should allow me to enter information that would prevent a later IRS inquiry.

Please see this discussion. Opus and dmertz are both very experienced tax people who are superusers.

 

I would just check to make sure that your final return looks the way you want it to.
