I was employed by two companies in 2010 (one after another after being laid off). It appears I may have put contribute too much into my
401k. The sum of the numbers in Box 12 of the W-2 form is much higher than the limit (16500 + 5500 for catch-up). Possible error made at the time I switch form one ocmpany to another.Any suggestion what I should do to correct this error? I decided to file for extension to buy some time until I know what approach to take to correct the error.
Thank you in advance for your help. pax
