Why is turbotax saying I contributed 2782 more for 401k than I did. Its putting me over the maximum limit of 34750?

It says I contributed 37,165 when my W-2 shows 34,383.

Check your W-2 for other codes in box 12 and make sure you entered them correctly.  You might have an item of $2782 that was entered with the wrong code.

My fault.  In the beginning when I entered W-2's, apparently I put my wife's W-2 as mine.  So it had me going over on 401K contributions.  Once I changed it to my wife's W-2, it corrected itself.  Thanks for the reply.
