"There are many posts here each year regarding this issue.  Unfortunately, the only solutions in TurboTax are either to omit the entry of the prior-year amount or to combine the amounts on a single code-D entry and then ignore the warning about overcontributing.  The warning about overcontributing has no effect on your ability to file.  Omitting the prior-year amount would be extremely unlikely to affect your tax return since doing so would almost certainly not affect your eligibility for a Retirement Savings Contributions Credit given that the combined deferrals exceed the annual deferral limit.

D22 refers to a 401k contribution (code D), made late for 2022 .

 

I think the way to deal with it, is to not enter that particular line&amount at all.

 

But wait for @dmertz  to comment sometime today or tomorrow, he knows the details that I only hazily recall.

So , I am going to add D ,  D22 and AA , AA22 and put them together under D and AA catarory. Hopefully, I don't get an error. Thank you for the answer!
