Turbo Tax is not asking for Roth contribution information
I have filled up all my income sources. However, so far the s/w has not asked for my Roth IRA contribution information. When will that happen? I know I am asking in advance but I waiting for some other information to proceed with my return filling so far. So, in parallel I want to sort this out too, as it is very hard to contact my brokerage firm and takes too much time.

Retirement tax questions
Enter IRA contributions here:
Federal Taxes,
Deductions & Credits,
I’ll choose what I work on (if that screen comes up),
Retirement & Investments,
Traditional & Roth IRA contribution.
OR Use the "Tools" menu (if online version under My Account) and then "Search Topics" for "ira contributions" which will take you to the same place.
A Roth IRA contribution does not actually go on a tax return, but you should 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.
