If you've already filed your return, you can amend it  to reflect your IRA contributions.  Keep in mind that only contributions to a traditional IRA are deductible on your return.  Contributions to a Roth IRA are not.

You'll have to wait a bit to amend your 2016 return because the federal amended return (1040X) and a lot of state amendment forms are not yet final.

The IRS has not yet finalized the amended return (1040X) -- it is usually available in February.  Please see this FAQ for Federal forms availability.
