Retirement tax questions

If you are a W-2 employee then your taxable compensation for Roth contribution cannot be more then the amount reported in box 1 on your W-2.   Payroll deductions for employer plans are reported on the W-2 box 12 and are not part of box 1.  So no, the income cannot be used twice.
