I'm not a CPA but it looks like my last years 401K donation was all counted as income. I hope I'm looking at it incorrectly.

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
1099 form came in last week

There is an accountant on here, he’s a Texas tech guy can’t remember his name
Yep I’m a CPA and tax guy. The final pay stub you received for 2021 should have all the year to date details of your income and before tax/after tax deductions. The format can vary widely so I can’t tell you exactly what to look for but there should be a box for “taxable wages” or something similar. Those numbers should line up with with the W-2 you received. If you’re still not sure, I’d be happy to take a quick look at your documents (block out your relevant personal info obviously). We can proceed via DM or email if you’d like.
Just realized you said 1099. Those are usually sent to independent contractors who are not employees. Your 401k contributions would not have gone through the company. They would normally be done “outside” of the company.
Send me a DM with some more details and we can get this straightened out.

Do most CPA's specialize or can you do any type of tax?
