Retirement Savings Contribution Credit Mistake

[bethanyh1]

Hello! TurboTax said I may qualify for a Retirement Saving Contribution Credit. My employer has contributed to a retirement plan for me, but I have not personally contributed to the plan. However, I made a mistake and clicked "Yes" indicating that I have contributed, and it won't let me undo my action. Does anyone know how to reset this?

It depends on where you made the input.

You can make the change in the federal section of the return in either of the following sections.

1. First you can review your input in the Income & Expenses section of the program.
2. Select Job (W-2)
3. Click Edit/Add to the right of the Job (W-2) 
4. Review your input on the applicable job.  Scroll down to Box 13.  If you have marked Retirement Plan, make sure this box is checked on your W-2 as well.  If it is not, you can uncheck it.  But if the box on your W-2 is checked, leave it as it is reported on your W-2 form.

You can check the credit information in the following section.

1. Select Deductions & Credits
2. Scroll down to All tax breaks and select Retirement and Investments
3. Select Retirement Savings Contribution Credit
4. Proceed to answer any questions if applicable
