Retirement tax questions

But...if you are asking if you can take your 401k contributions (box 12 Code "D" on your W-2) , adn place that same $$ amount into the Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions section on teh Deductions&Credits page ??

 

The answer to that is a big NO !    a 401k is not an IRA...and you already would have your regular 401k contributions deducted from your taxable wages in box 1 of that W-2...so you don't get to take the deduction twice.
