Anyone know why I wasn't asked to enter IRA contributions this year? I was asked if I did contribute, but I never was asked how much. In past years this was given focus.

Typically Turbo Tax would ask me several times and then make sure I didn't contribute too much. This year other than asking me if I contributed it didn't ask me anything else. Perhaps I missed it; but I recall this being something Turbo Tax would ensure you entered.

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account

Thanks. I submitted already and therefore can’t even view that information right now and amending isn’t available yet. I guess I’ll attempt to start a new return to see where I went wrong. I just can’t believe I wasn’t asked about this and don’t understand how I could have missed it.

Thanks for posting this - had the same experience: asked in detail about IRAs every single year, nothing this year.  What a pain!
