I am merely trying to add my wife's IRA deduction (she just opened an IRA prior to the tax deadline). Where in TurboTax do I find/enter the IRA deduction (6K)?

I already completed the 2018 return but have not yet submitted it.  So I am merely trying to go "back into" Turbo Tax to enter the $6K deduction (I can't locate the prompt questions anywhere).
