Retirement tax questions

No, you can't separate the income on your return to calculate your IRA deduction. 

 

You say, "I work part time and contribute to a company sponsored IRA." I am assuming by that you mean that your employer is offering a 401(K) IRA, a 401(K) Roth, or similar, and your contributions are deducted from your pay.

 

If that is the case, you can't deduct the IRA contributions on your tax return because they are already deducted from your pay (except Roth, which is not deductible at all) and are reported on your W-2 form in box 12. 

 

If this is not what you mean, please reply back with more details and we will help you further.
