Why can't I e-file because the elective deferrals amount on my W-2 (Box 12, code E) is greater than "allowed" (the W-2 is correct; I checked with my employer)?

Will there be a fix for TurboTax before April 15 or should I file paper returns (federal and NY state)?

It was just announced that an update is currently planned for April 12th, 2019 to resolve this e-filing issue. 

You may still see a warning about the excess contribution, but you should be able to e-file.  You can check out this TurboTax FAQ for more information: Excess 401(k) Contribution Preventing E-filing.
