How To Find IRA Contributions On W2?

An IRA (Individual Retirement Arrangement) is something you put up on your own (not at work) to avoid being reported on your W-2. The year-end summary statement from the bank, broker, or mutual fund that maintains your account contains information regarding contributions to your Roth IRA.

Contributions to a Roth retirement plan at work will be shown on your W-2 in Box 12 with the code:

• EE: Roth contributions under governmental section 457(b) plan. This amount does not apply to contributions made under a section 457(b) plan sponsored by a tax-exempt organization.

Where do you find traditional IRA contributions on W-2?

W-2 forms do not include Roth and regular IRAs. A W-2 would be used to report employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as a 401k.

You would not enter contributions to a retirement plan through payroll deductions in the Deductions & Credits section. All that is required is your W-2 entry.

You would put your contributions under the Deductions & Credits section if you started a Roth or regular IRA on your own, outside of your employer, through a bank, mutual fund, or brokerage.

Do IRA contributions show up on W-2?

An IRA and a 401(k) are not the same thing. It’s a 401(k), not an IRA, if you have a retirement plan through a conventional W2 employer with Code “D” in Box 12.

A 401(k) contribution should not be treated as an IRA contribution in the program. You simply submit your W2 to account for 401(k) contributions. In Box 1 of your W2, your 401(k) contributions have already been deducted from your taxable wages.

Employers aren’t involved in IRA contributions. If you make a $5500 IRA contribution outside of your employer, only list that under IRA contributions.

Is W-2 Box 12 dd deductible?

The amount indicated on your W-2, Box 12, using Code DD, is for your information only and indicates the cost of pre-tax employer-sponsored health coverage.

This is true whether you work for the NYC Department of Education or in the private sector. Here, too, the tax rules are the same.

What box on W-2 shows retirement contributions?

Contributions to your 401(k) or TSP plan will often appear in box 12 of your W-2 form, under the letter code D.

In TurboTax, search for W-2 (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash) and then select the Jump to W-2 link in the search results to go to the W-2 section.

Do not re-enter your contribution in the retirement section because it has already been accounted for on your W-2.

Your contributions are not deductible because they are made “pre-tax.” This means that the amount of your contribution has already been deducted from your income before tax has been applied.

When you withdraw your contributions, they will be considered distributions, not contributions, and will be included in your taxable income.

Because your contributions are made before taxes, they aren’t included in your taxable income.

As a result, there is no need for a further deduction or credit to deduct them from your earnings.
