What contributions are allowed for the "Credit for Retirement Savings Contributions'? We contribute to a State Optional Retirement plan each pay period at a standard rate of 9%.

[MayaD]

Depending on your adjusted gross income reported on your Form 1040 series return, the amount of the credit is 50%, 20% or 10% of:

• contributions you make to a traditional or Roth IRA,
• elective salary deferral contributions to a 401(k), 403(b), governmental 457(b), SARSEP, or SIMPLE plan,
• voluntary after-tax employee contributions made to a qualified retirement plan (including the federal Thrift Savings Plan) or 403(b) plan,
• contributions to a 501(c)(18)(D) plan, or
• contributions made to an ABLE account for which you are the designated beneficiary (beginning in 2018).

Your state's ORP likely qualifies.  Note that Turbotax will claim this for you automatically if you qualify.  Your workplace contributions are reported on your W-2 in box 12, and as long as you enter your w-2 correctly, Turbotax will recognize those contributions and apply the credit if allowed.
