Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Turbo tax is not letting me e-file because it is believes there is an error in my 401k contributions, it is not taking into account the maximum allowable deduction calc

I keep getting sent back to Line 6a on the Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE Contribution Worksheet.

Did you contribute too much?  You can contribute to a 401K up to the amount of your Net Profit reduced by 1/2 of the SE tax OR to the max contribution allowed for a 401k whichever is Less.  That's all I know.  Maybe someone else has other ideas @dmertz ?

2021 TurboTax indicating an error on line 6a means that the total of lines 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b exceeds the maximum permissible $19,500.

Are you married ?  If so did you properly indicate who each income item belongs to and who had the 401K/SEP contributions ?
