do IRS contributions include 401k contributions ?

does this mean additional 401k contributions made by me , or does it mean what I've elected to take out of my paycheck ?

NO.  Contribution to a 401(k) retirement account are only reported on a W-2 is box 12 with a code of D.  The contributions are not entered anywhere else on a tax return.
