Retirement tax questions

Do you have a 401k----or an IRA?  They are not the same thing, although both are kinds of retirement plans.   If you have a 401k with your employer, it is shown on your W-2. (usually in box 12 or 13).  You enter the amount from your W-2 and you are done.  You do not enter it anywhere else.
