Error in calculating retirement contributions

My wife's retirement contribution is calculated incorrectly.

Here to total income for 2024 was $35791 of which she contributed $3298 to a 401K and $1564 to a ROTH IRA.

However Turbotax says "all contributions from Betsy's W2" is $33798. This is clearly incorrect.

How can I fix it?

Error in calculating retirement contributions

You might need to check her W-2 entry:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “W-2”  
  2. Click on “Jump to W-2”
  3. Click "Edit" next to her W-2 and review her box 12 entry with code D

Looks like it added a "3"  and changed the 2 to a 7 for  3298 and made it 33798 in W2 box 12.  Did you import the W2?  That can import wrong.  Delete the W2 and enter it again Manually.  That usually fixes it.
