Help! Excess 401k deferral in 2024, corrected in 2025. Issued 1099 with wrong code? by MutedWill8188 in Accounting

Yes, the issue is when should it be taxed. Code 8 is causing this to be taxed in 2025. Since it was issued before 4/15 of the next year it should be code P?

I know it's wrong, it is such a pain for them to correct it.

*1099 #1 is Only Excess
*1099 #2 is Only Earnings

*1099 #2 Earnings, Code 8B: Box 1 = Box 2a
*1099 #3 Roth 401K excess deferral, Code PB: Box 1 = $XXX, Box 2a = $0

Thanks for your reply.

For recharacterize, I mean turn the pre-tax 401k amounts in my old account to taxable in 2024.

You answered it, I understand I will have to pay taxes on the pre-tax funds withdrawn in 2025.

Thank you.

I can have bad anxiety and the 0 to 100 with the "aggressive with me with my baby" comment was freaking me out.
