To enter my IRA contribution do I enter the value? Or where do I find that amount on the folio I received from my mutual fund provider?

Can anyone help with specifics?

Your IRA contribution for tax purposes is the value of what you contributed during the year to your individual retirement account. It is typically listed on line 1 of Form 5498 that you will receive form your broker. That is all you need to report on your tax return in the current year unless you receive a distribution, which would be reported on form 1099-R.

You probably need to look at your bank account statements to see what you sent to the IRA.  You should know the amount.  Did you send in a one time amount or make several contributions during the year?  

Your IRA statement should have amount transferred in or cash received or similar under Activity.
