I have a d20 on line 12 of my w2

[skduke51]

turbo tax software will not let you manually enter nor will it allow 2 Ds

Did you try to add them together and enter one code D?

[taxingfilerr]

If I add them together, it is over the annual 401k contribution limit amount. 

Is this being reported because the employer forgot to include that amount for the designated tax year for the number following the "d"?

Try entering the 2 D amounts directly on the form itself like this and see what happens.

Thank you. A couple of things- I found out where this is addressed on the IRS website (https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-plans-faqs-regarding-userra-and-sscra#D1), very bottom of page.

Issues with TurboTax:

1) I can only use dropdown selection even when in Forms view on the desktop software version, so I cannot put in the designated year for the separate D/401K contribution, I can only label as "D" (instead of D 21, like how it is reported on my W2 and like how the IRS is instructing you to fill out in the link)

2) I can go into the form view and just put in another line with D and the separate amount, but it triggers an error on my form. Am I allowed to eFile with this "error", or do I need to print it out and submit by mail?

Thank you!

Leave the 21 (or 20) off.  That is the year the contribution was for and is for your  information only.    The W-2 form only allows the code (D) and dollar amount. Only enter the D and the dollar amount.

I was waiting for the 8960 error for folks with 1099 forms to be fixed before submitting my form, and now that the 8960 error has been fixed, I tried to e-File my form, but TurboTax would not allow me to e-file because I had duplicate D designated entries (1 for current tax year, and another for prior year catch up contribution).

After reading similar threads from prior year, looks like this is just informational material that doesn't show up in its broken down form on the actual tax return forms so I just added the 2 D-values together and over reported for this tax filing year
