Will there be a fix for TurboTax before April 15 or should I file paper returns (federal and NY state)?

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.
