Should I include my employer's contributions with my Roth ITA contributions submission?

I feel like I should only enter my contributed amount and not the percentage that is matched by my employer.

No, you would not include your employers contributions only the contributions you personally made.

AND...if you are talking about the IRA & Roth IRA contributions on the Deductions&Credits page.

 

Then NO...nothing that shows up, and has already been entered in box 12 of your W-2 , NONE of that is to be included as IRA or Roth IRA contributions. that Deductions&Credits page in the software.

Now, if you are in a state where actual IRA contributions are done thru your paycheck...so-called Auto-IRA...then those might be entered there since those contributions are NOT in box 12 of your W-2 form.

 

But IRA, and Roth IRAs contributions are NOT...not...not 401k, nor 457b nor 403b contributions... i.e.notice that they are named entirely differently.
