In order to electronically file both my MA state and federal
2006 tax returns with TaxAct, I had to add my refund of excess 2006 401(k) contribution (from failed ADP test) to box 1 and box 16 of my electronic W-2 in TaxAct. This was necessary to report the excess as wages without over riding fields that would prevent electronic filing. When the IRS receives my 2007 1099-R with code P (indicating taxable in
2006), I expect they may check my 2006 tax return to see if I paid tax on the excess contribution in 2006. How will they be able to tell? Will they have a copy of my W-2 from my employer (or from the SSA) to compare to the electronic W-2 that was sent with my 2006 tax return?
