Did they "fix" it? https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/sep-plan-fix-it-guide-contributions-to-the-sep-ira-exceeded-the...
Does the penalty still apply for 2024?
Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Did you look at the calculations for the allowable SEP contribution? How did you know it's an excess contribution? What was the deposit date, "in 2023" but for which tax year?

Thank you for the link. It will apply to 2024 if my client does not fix it.
He has the same problem in 2024 but has not filed his taxes yet.

Yes, I looked at the SEP limits. He is a sole proprietor, no employees. He contributed in 2024 for both designated to 2023 and 2024. $20K for each year(total $40K). His allowable contribution is only $6K for both years. I was curious as to why proseries did not flag the overage. It looks like I have to manually complete form 5329.
My plan was to amend 2023 with penalty, roll over the excess to 2024 and have him remove any excess designated to 2024 to get him square.
