If your contribution to a retirement plan are on your W-2 in box 12 then you do not enter those contributions anywhere else on a tax return.

I am not sure where you are being asked this. But it could be that you are being asked if you made after-tax contributions to your plan. 

 

If this is the case, then you do not enter any contributions made by your employer, because these are likely to be pre-tax.

 

If this doesn't make sense, tell us where you see this question and tell us what it is exactly.
