I've a confusion regarding 402g excess deferral. If there are any excess deferral contribution amount then excess contributions must be refunded within April 15 (no tax required). Do I need forfeit any match contribution related to this excess deferral contribution? I've attached an ASC generated report where it shows $14 attributable match need to be forfeited. Please share your thoughts. Thanks for any insight.

Can IRA owner rollover error be repaired during current tax year cycle? In February, 60 year old IRA owner takes $8,000 distribution. In March, replaces funds as a “Rollover Contribution”. In December, changes IRA custodians, UNFORTUNATELY, Original custodian sends check made out to IRA owner’s name (e.g. a rollover) instead of new Custodian’s name (e.g. a custodian-to-custodian transfer). IRA owner deposits check in new IRA with Custodian B. Since IRA owner has not completed tax forms for the year, can he remedy through re-characterization? For example: Re-characterize $6,500 of the $8,000 March Rollover Contribution as a Regular Contribution, Withdraw the extra $1,500 as an excess contribution, Deposit the extra $1,500 as a regular contribution to spouse IRA to mitigate the income tax? Or are other remedies available, given that this is within the current tax year cycle?

If for the past 2 years, a client has been making 401(k) deferral contributions on behalf of an employee on leave out of post-tax payments that are not allowed to be used for 401(k). The employee has no other income from the client to make 401(k), and therefore should not have contributed anything. What is the correction method? Are there multiple ways to correct? Do you have to file anything with the IRS or can you self correct? My experience with excess 401(k) contributions is to refund the money and earnings as ordinary income, but that was for contributions over the $17,500 limit. I am not sure if it is different if all of the 401(k) contributions are disallowed, and if it spans multiple years.
