Retirement tax questions

The only place that comes to mind where you may see a question about employer matching contributions to a 401k is in the self-employed retirement section.  

 

If you or your spouse are self-employed and reporting your business income on Schedule C, then you may need to visit that section to enter contribution information.  If your spouse is employed by another company with a 401k (not a business either of you owns or runs), then you would not enter employer contributions as part of your return.

 

If you are using TurboTax Online Self-Employed, you can find the self-employed retirement contributions section by going to Federal > Income and Expenses and then scrolling down to the Other Business Situations section.  Click Start or Update beside Self-Employed Retirement Plans.

 

If you are using TurboTax CD/downloaded Home and Business version, start by going to the Business tab at the top of the screen.  Then, scroll down to Less Common Business Situations and click Start or Update beside Self-Employed Retirement.
