Depends on what you are asking about.....your question is not clear

1)  IF you are asking about your "contributions" you made during the year...then those are listed on your W-2 form, and those contributions get recorded when you simply enter your W-2 into the software.

2) If you are asking about money you removed form your 401k plan, then you get a 1099-R form for those, and you enter those...in the software 1099-R form, down in the retirement income area on the Wages&Income page of the software.
