Deductions & credits
If you added 'Auto Enrollment' to a new or existing Retirement Plan, you can claim a $500 credit or up to three years (total of $1500) on Form 3800. You're correct, the data did come from Form 8881, Part 2, where's there's a checkbox to indicate 'Auto Enrollment.'
The error on Form 3800 may indicate that all info is not present on Form 8881. You could step through the interview for this section again, or make changes directly on the form in FORMS mode.
Here's info on Filling out Form 3881 to help you, as well as detailed info from the IRS on Form 3881.
