The contributions that I contribute to my job's retirement fund, where do I enter this? Should this amount appear on my W-2 form for work?

Yes. If you look at  box 12 of your W-2 you should see a code that indicates the type of retirement plan you were in next to the amount that you put into the account this year. When you enter that code into Turbo Tax, the program will carry the amount over to the 1040. Then, it will calculate any retirement savings credit you are eligible for.

Please see the information below for further information.
