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.

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.There is an accountant on here, he’s a Texas tech guy can’t remember his name
