If you have an employer provided retirement account, such as a 401(k), your elective deferrals to the plan are reported on your W-2 in box 12 with a code of D.   Those deferrals/contributions are not entered anywhere else on your tax return.

Employers do not offer IRA's for a retirement account.

Do not enter your job contributions in the IRA deduction section, only enter it from your W2, nowhere else.  Work plans are not an IRA.   IRA contributions are made outside of work on your own at the bank or broker.
