Retirement tax questions

If you are referring to elective deferrals to an employer provided tax deferred retirement 401(k) account, you do not enter anything in the section for IRA contributions.  Unless you have a separate IRA outside of your employer retirement account.

Your deferrals to the 401(k) are reported on your W-2 box 12 with a code of D and are not entered anywhere else on a tax return.
