Shouldn't be a problem unless you would qualify for the Savers Credit.

A Roth IRA contribution does not actually go on a tax return, but you can enter it anyway to:

1) Tell you if your income qualifies you for a contribution and warn you if it does not.
2) Check if your income exceeds the limit to contribute to a Roth.
3) Track your contribution year-to-year if you use TurboTax every year.
4) Add the Retirement Savers Credit if you qualify.

Thanks, I sort of came to that same conclusion since the addition of the amounts do not add a schedule 1 to the return, nor add an entry on line 8a on the 1040; but nice to have it confirmed by a second party.
