Retirement tax questions

First...make sure it truly is an IRA and not a 401k, 403b or 457.....

 

IF you're sure it's an IRA,  i.e. A couple state have instituted Auto-IRA programs for direct contributions from paychecks...BUT...even so..

 

If it truly is an IRA...You need to go back to the Deductions&Credits page in the software, and go thru the IRA Contributions section to enter the exact total $$ amount you contributed during the year, and whether it was to a ROTH IRA or Traditional IRA  (I seem to recall, the state Auto-IRA programs were all ROTH IRAs...but I could be wrong).
