Must a 401k elective contribution from a partnership be shown on BOTH line 6a and 6b of the worksheet?

[dennisomalley13]

I currently show the deduction on line 6b of the worksheet, but the program keeps insisting that I need to put something on line 6a

[dmertz · Accepted solution]

It only goes on line 6b.  However, TurboTax will flag line 6a as erroneous if the amount on line 6b is in excess of $18,500 if under age 50 or $24,500 if age 50 or over in 2018.

So what is a valid solution? As a partner I can put away up to 57000 in a 401k but Turbo Tax has this inappropriate flag. I ended up claiming my "employer" matched me (57000 - 19500) in order to have Turbo Tax let me file, but this is not technically true . . .

Can this glitch be fixed?
