Code E indicates an elective deferral to a traditional account in a 403(b) plan, not a contribution to any kind of IRA or Roth account.  Code DD indicates the cost of employer-sponsored health coverage.  Enter items from box 12 of your W-2 only in box 12 of TurboTax's W-2 form.  Do not enter these anywhere else in TurboTax.
