TurboTax is showing you that if you make an IRA contribution for the 2016 tax year (by the due date of the return) it can save you on your taxes. Make absolutely sure you are going to contribute the money. Opening an IRA without making the deduction will not impact your taxes.

If yo make a contribution to an IRA (or are going to) then you enter that dollar amount of contribution into TurboTax and it will re-compute your taxes.

To enter IRA deduction
