Where do you enter the employer contribution for an individual 401 (k) for a self-employed taxpayer?

Dodgerfan

My client is a self-employed taxpayer with a schedule C. He has an individual 401 (k) that allows both elective employee deferrals and employer profit sharing contributions. The taxpayer made a $2,000 elective deferral in 2023 and would like to make a 2023 employer contribution in 2024.  The taxpayer also made an allowed $7,500 Roth contribution in 2023.

I entered the $2,000 elective deferral in the "total SE elective deferrals (except Roth) line on Screen 24.

Where do I enter the employer PS contribution?

Screen 24 Code 10 "Profit-Sharing"  If you hit F1 on that field, it will specify that this is the field to use for i401k ER contributions.
