I followed instrux to add 401K excess as misc income. When I try to file, it indicates that the 401K amt exceeds max allowed and will not let me file. What do I do?

TurboTax is aware of this e-filing issue and is currently working on a solution. An update to fix the issue is expected to be released around 4/5/2019.  

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.
