No, it looks like you entered a retirement contribution in both your company, and as a personal contribution.

If you contributed to a Traditional IRA it probably was a personal contribution, and should be posted under Deductions & Credits.
The Self-Employed contribution would be for a Qualified Retirement Plan.
- This would not be a Traditional IRA.

To get back to the self-employed contribution:

As an alternative you can go to the main menu.

Select Tax Tools
On the drop-down select Tools
There will be 4 green boxes
Select Topics Search
Type SEP IRA (Use this to get back to your entry screen)
You'll see Self-Employed Retirement Plans, click Yes.
Continue the interview and remove the self-employed contribution.

Please contact us again with any additional questions.
