Since your W-2 has your Roth 401(k) contributions in box 12, you do not enter those contributions anywhere else on the tax return.
The problem is that TurboTax is assessing a penalty as if I contributed too much based on the limits for a Roth IRA, not a 401(k)

Back up...Are you also entering Roth IRA contributions in the section for IRA's along with having Roth 401(k) deferrals on the W-2?
What penalty is the program saying you will have?
All I entered was the amount and code (AA)in box 12 from my W-2. The penalty is 6% of the amount above $6000. My understanding is that a Roth 401(k) has a much higher contribution limit.
