Federal Taxes-Deductions & Credits-Traditional & IRA Contributions - does this include what you pay out of your paycheck every pay period?

[DawnC0]

No.  The deductions for contributions made through your paycheck (401K type plans) are included when you enter your W-2 information (box 12).   The deduction you referenced is a deduction for money/contributions that you put into a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

An individual retirement account (IRA) is a personal savings plan that offers you tax incentives to set aside money for your retirement.  

You can open an IRA by making a deposit with an IRS-approved custodian (such as a bank, mutual fund, or stockbroker).
