Roth 457(b) contributions will appear in box 12 of your W-2 only with code EE.  Enter this only in box 12 of TurboTax's W-2 form, nowhere else in TurboTax.  TurboTax will automatically use the value in calculating any Retirement Savings Contributions Credit.

 

Your year-end balance in the Roth 457(b) is not reportable on your tax return.

Yes, contributions to a 457(b) plan are reported on your W-2, 

 

  • It will be listed in Box 12 with code G.
  • If you make Roth (after-tax) contributions, they will also be reported in Box 12 using code EE.
  • This does qualify for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit.
