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.

 

            

 

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

 

Please contact us again with any additional questions.

Sorry, this is how to get to the Self Employed retirement plan.

 

Select Business at the top of the screen

  1. Lets find some business deductions - Continue
  2. I'll chose what I work on
  3. Scroll to Less Common Business Situations
  4. Select Self-Employment Retirement
  5. Clear any information you previously put in
