Employer contributions are listed on line 9, and limit the deductibility of contributions you make separately which are listed on line 1. You should not be entering employer/employee contributions separately when the program asks for "additional" or outside contributions.
Under the tax code, any payroll contributions are considered "employer" contributions because you enter into an agreement with your employer to reduce your salary and your employer makes the contribution.
