I entered my simple retirement contribution from W2 -box 12a when entering the W2 info. Do I also enter this amount as part of the retirement contributions section?

Contributions to your SIMPLE retirement plan are already accounted for on your form W-2. They have been excluded from taxable wages reported in box 1 of your form W-2 and are also reported in box 12.

You do not enter them again in the retirement contributions section.
