So I have an entry on my W-2 for box 12 with the code of E. My spouse also has this code. However, when I get to the "Credit for retirement savings contribution" panel, my tab says I made "$0 in regular elective contributions to employer-provided qualified retirement account." For my spouse, they have the same amount that is indicated by their code E.
For additional information, I was still a student for part of 5 months in the year, but otherwise nothing significant was different in our situations. My contribution was made from a job I started in the second half of the year.

It depends. Your question holds a key, however: you were a student for part of the year. A student is not allowed to claim the Retirement Savers Credit. So his contribution is considered to be a zero for the purposes of this credit. Here's an FAQ with more information on this: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301263
