457 Catch Up

Hi there. I am a government employee that contributes to a 457B plan. I cannot find in Turbo Tax how to utilize the catch up function as I have contributed more than what is allowed and am entitled to the catch up credit. Appreciate any help! Thank you!

Your catch-up contribution should be present in the amount reported with code G or code EE in box 12 of your W-2. Enter amounts shown in box 12 of your W-2 only in box 12 of TurboTax's W-2 form, nowhere else in TurboTax.
