Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I switched companies in 2009, so I had two 401k plans to keep track of. I kept adjusting the contribution rate with the new company downward as I got closer to the end of the year, and ended up going over the $16,500 limit by something like $32. So I guess I did pretty good!
To sort that out, I had to fill out an excess deferral form, or something like that, that the new company provided. All I had to do was fill it out, and attach something that showed how much I had put into my other 401k, and then they mailed me my $32 back. And, come tax time, I had to pay taxes on that $32.
