My employer made two contributions to an SEP account in my name. The checks were made payable to the investment company. Do I enter that amount on my taxes?

The SEP contributions should show on the W-2 box 12 code F.

The contributions were made after I received my W-2, so there is no code in Box 12; however, code F mentions a "...salary reduction SEP." The contributions were made in addition to my annual wages.  Also, would the code be in Box 12a, 12b, 12c, or 12d?

[Critter]

Box 12 has 4 lines indicated by a,b,c & d.   And if the contributions were made after the first of the year then they are probably 2019 contributions ... check with the employer.

@dmertz  can you weigh in on this ?

SEP contributions by an employer wouldn't shown on the W2, only the employer gets benefit of that.  
The employee doesn't recognize anything related to the SEP on their tax return.

[dmertz]

Code F is for an employee's elective deferrals to a SARSEP established before 1997.  This is not an elective deferral to a SARSEP.

Yes ... I thought I was off base on that one ... thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks to all of you for your help!  Much appreciated!

The SEP contributions are employer contributions.  They are a deduction on the employer's tax return, not on your tax return.  They are not included in your income until you take them as a distribution from your SEP-IRA.
