An IRA is NOT a 403b....entirely different beasts....(other than being retirement accounts)

 

Yoru 403b contributions on your W-2 are only entered in the W-2 boxes provided when you enter your W-2 form.

 

The IRA section is for separate personal IRA accounts you set up on yoru own.

Yes, the 403b contribution on your W-2 is completely separate from any IRA. If the only thing you contributed was through your job, you do nothing but enter the information from your W-2. If you had a separate IRA, you would have to enter that information elsewhere.

 

To enter your 2021 IRA contribution (money you put into your IRA), open your return, search for ira contributions and select the Jump to link in the search results. We'll take you to the Traditional IRA and Roth IRA screen where you can start the IRA interview.
