If you said YES at the screen that said Did you contribute to a qualified retirement plan? and then hit Continue in the lower right hand corner of the screen, TurboTax will bring up the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit under Your tax breaks.

 

On that screen, you do not have to click on Start to the right.  You may continue on to the next tax break. 

 

Or, if you are finished with Your tax breaks on this page, click on Wrap up tax breaks in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

The software knows that box 12 indicates that money was contributed to a retirement account. Please do not enter that amount twice.
