Can you correct excess contribution to 457 plan in the year it was contributed?

Taxpayer had two jobs with 457 plan deferrals.  He has 2,000 in excess contributions which was returned to him in 2022.  Is there a way to include the excess contribution in taxable income for 2021?

Tax Treatment and Reporting section. It matters if the one issuing the excess return is governmental or not.
