I received a 1099-R with a Distribution Code of G.
Gross distribution is $5337.43
Taxable amount is $1444.54
Employee contribution $3892.89
I can only contribute $26,000 to my employer's Roth 401(k) and can clearly see from my final paycheck of 2021 that $5337.43 was in excess of the $26,000 amount.
Thank you.
This is a distribution from your pension and has nothing to do with a contribution to your pension. If you took the money and spent it, you say that. If you rolled it over into another retirement account, you say that.
Your wife can make her own contributions that have nothing to do with your own.
