Can I enter my W-2 Box 12 IRA amounts in the IRA Contributions section for deductions?

No - You can't enter the W-2 Box 12 IRA amounts in the IRA contributions.  These contributions are already subtracted from the taxable income reported on your W-2.

Thank you. So this IRA contributions section is for additional contributions, not for contributions done through employer, correct?
