Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I'm on the section that they are asking for IRA info. I contribute to a 401k through work, and that is on my W-2, so isn't it already there? Is this something different?

A 401(k) is not an IRA.  Do not enter under Deductions & Credits anything having to do with your 401(k).  Enter the amount in box 12 of your W-2 only on TurboTax's W-2 form
