Can i set up a traditional IRA through TurboTax?

[noahlibe]

Or do I have to do it separately after telling TT how much I plan to invest?

[PaulaM · Accepted solution]

Indicate how much you plan to contribute to an IRA in TurboTax, but the account set up has to take place outside of the program. Set one up through a mutual fund, bank or brokerage. 

I like Vanguard or Fidelity for their low fees, but choose the custodian of your choice.
