401 K Catch up contribution

Hello- 

Where on Turbo Tax do you enter your catch up contribution? 

It is listed on the w/2 in box 14. But again where do you enter the amount in Turbo Tax?

 

Thank you!

You do not have to enter the catch up contribution separately in TurboTax, it looks at the total maximum($30,500) and your age as indicated in the Personal Info section to determine if you overcontributed.

This amount should already be present in the total reported with code D or code AA in box 12 of your W-2.  Enter the items from boxes 12 and 14 only in boxes 12 and 14 of TurboTax's W-2 form, nowhere else in TurboTax.
