Question about deductions. the Traditional and Roth IRA contributions. is this above what is listed on my W-2 ?

[JohnB5677]

Please clarify the question?

• Do you have a retirement plan on your W-2?
• What type of plan? probably something other than an IRA.
• What type of additional contribution do you want to make?

IRA contributions are NEVER listed on your W-2.  Your W-2 would list contributions to a workplace retirement plan, including 401(k), 403(b), and others.  Workplace retirement plans are NOT IRAs, even though they have the same basic function, and they are controlled by different laws.  You should only enter IRA or Roth IRA contributions if you contributed to a private account that you set up with a bank or investment company separate from any workplace plan.
