Your contributions to the employer provided 401(k) account are on your W-2 in box 12 with a code of D.
You do not enter these contributions anywhere else on your tax return.
On the 2025 Desktop version, it shows that I have an excess contribution to my "IRA" of $1230 when I contributed $9230 to my work 401k and to my Roth IRA of $8000. Is it thinking that the 12 D entry is for an IRA? At the end of the Deductions and Credits section it shows the Excess Contributions. IRA Contribution $9230, Less: $1230 for Excess IRA Contribution and then goes on to call the $8000 Roth IRA Contrbution and Excess and subtracts it.
A 401K is not an IRA. Only enter it from the W2, nowhere else and not under IRA Deductions.
