Catch-Up Contributions to 403(b) in 2024

[dannypac]

I'm 44 years old but I qualify for the Special catch-up contribution through my employer (over 15 years of service and educational organization), but TurboTax is indicating I over contributed. I don't see where to specify that it's a catchup contribution. The regular limit is 23K in 2024 and I contributed total of 24K to my 403(b) account.  I also confirmed with my employer that I qualify for this special catch-up contribution.  Is there a tax form I have to fill out and upload somewhere?

Turbotax does not recognize this situation.  I think you can just ignore the recommendation to remove the amount incorrectly flagged as "excess", and it won't have any effect on your tax return.  @dmertz ?

As Opus 17 indicates, you can ignore this warning from TurboTax.
