How to add catchup 401k contribution in TurboTax

I have 401k plan from my employer. I am above 50, so allowed additional $7500 catchup contribution.

How do I add it in turbotax? Adding it as TraditionalIRA contribution hits a income limit and TT reduces it to 0.

As far I know, there is no income limit for catchup contribution. Is this not supported by TurboTax?

How to add catchup 401k contribution in TurboTax

401(k) contributions can only be made by salary deferrals and are reported on your form W-2, box 12 code D. You do not report 401(k) contributions anywhere else on your tax return.

 

You can't contribute by writing a check and deposit it in your 401(k) account.

 

There no income limit for the catch-up contribution, but it must be made through salary deferrals.
