Does proseries automatically calculate the penalty for SEP over contributions, or do I manually have to enter the information on form 5329?

My client over contributed $14K in his SEP in 2023. He did not report it on his tax return. I entered his 2023 return with the excess contribution and proseries calculated the correct deduction but did not flag the overage with a penalty. Do I manually prepare form 5329 in order to calculate the penalty?

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!
