How do i get passed w-2 summary page with excess value in box 12b

rcpalha · ‎June 4, 2019

I over contributed to my 401k. So turbotax advised me to enter the excess salary deferral amount in the Income Section under Retirement plans and Social Security. However, I can't efile since turbo tax is still picking up the over contribution on the w-2 form summary page in box 12b

Be sure to sign up for updates to be alerted as soon as there is a solution. If you do not want to wait for an update, you have the option to paper file your tax returns as this is only an e-filing issue.
