Where do I add my 401k contributions? Would it be on the area that has the traditional IRA and Roth IRA?

I was supposed to get a phone (more than one hour ago), but never received one.

If you are a W-2 employee, you should have received a Form W-2 , with a code "D" in box 12 with a dollar amount. That is your 401(k) contribution. TurboTax will automatically handle that.  You do not have to enter in the Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions section.


As the 401k contribution is a pre-tax event, there is no deduction allowed.
