An IRA (Individual Retirement Arrangement) is something you set up yourself (outside of work) so it wouldn't be reported on your W-2. Information about contributions to your Roth IRA can be found on the year-end summary statement from the bank, broker, or mutual fund that holds your account. 

If you had a Roth retirement plan at work, contributions to it will be indicated on your W-2 in Box 12 with code:

  • AA: Roth 401(k) plan.
  • BB: Roth 403(b) plan.
  • EE: Roth contributions under governmental section 457(b) plan. This amount does not apply to contributions under a tax-exempt organization section 457(b) plan.

Hello, I have complicated question I hope I can get an answer to. I contributed $12k last year to a Roth IRA and did not distribute it to stock, bonds, or ETF's. 

 

I did this year. It seems like a obvious when one but with taxes I'm weary. Should I put on my taxes that I contributed to my Roth IRA for 2020 even though I did not receive dividends, only $5?

Are you asking about a IRA held in a bank or financial institution in your name or an employer Roth which is NOT an IRA.

 

The most that can be contributed to an IRA in a year is $6,000 (or $7,000 if over age 50).    Gains or losses in a IRA are not reported.
