They would be in box 12 with Code D.  Only enter it from your W2, nowhere else.  Especially not under Deductions.  A 401K is not a IRA contribution.

Look in box 12 and the amount next to code D.    You only have to enter your w-2 to get credit for your 401k contributions.   You do not need to enter anywhere else in TurboTax.
