I contribute to a pension each month. Can I use the retirement information on my W2 to include on IRA tax break section?

Most retirement contribution information entered on a W-2 is already giving you a tax break because the amount of the contribution is deducted from your income before your income is entered in box 1. Is it not already deducted from your income?
