Overpaid in 2018 by $17 to 401K. Already received a dist. check for over contribution. Entered the $17 as any other earned income but still have error on return. Help.

Received the check in 2019. I know I will get a 1099R in Jan but I have to report the excess deferral for 2018. I have followed several help posts but I am still getting an error on completion.

You have taken the right steps to have the excess distributed and include the amount of the excess deferral on your 2018 Tax Return.

It was just announced that an update is currently planned for April 12th, 2019 to resolve this e-filing issue. 

You may still see a warning about the excess contribution, but you should be able to e-file.  You can check out this TurboTax FAQ for more information: Excess 401(k) Contribution Preventing E-filing.
