I am not able to see that, but you can enter the full $6,500 into TurboTax (after you finish entering all income and deductions) and see if you are getting a refund.&nbsp; If you are, then adjust down the $6,500 until your refund is $0. That will be the amount you need to deposit.<BR /></P> Tue, 04 Jun 2019 21:05:21 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/the-maximum-contribution-you-can-make-to-your-traditional/01/419517#M38051 CathiM 2019-06-04T21:05:21Z
