Turbotax will not efile since I contributed $24,500 to my 457 b as per my W-2. My birthdate is correct showing I'm 58. I believe there is a bug in TTax. How do I fix it?

W-2 Code G catch-up contributions are allowed only for state or local government 457(b) plans. You have to indicate in the W-2 entry screen titled (or something like:) Government Employers  Is your employer <name> a state or local government? You have to check the Yes button. There will then be no error.

Hi there!  We are looking into the matter mentioned in your post and I wanted to make sure you have successfully been able to e-file at this point.
