When asked "Did you contribute to a traditional IRA in 2025?", does this include contributions taken out of my pay check and deposited into my 401k?

Such as listed in my W-2 box 12b (code D).

No, that does NOT mean contributions to a 401(k) account as reported on your W-2.  That contribution is not entered anywhere else on a tac return, other than on the W-2.

A 401(k) is not an IRA.
