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 made through the government’s 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.

What is Box 13 on a W2?
Box 13 This section contains three check boxes: Statutory Employee, Retirement Plan, and Third Party Sick Pay. Your employer will tick or leave these boxes unchecked. A statutory employee is someone who is treated as an employee yet has no taxes deducted from their pay (this occurs frequently with employees who are 100 percent commission). If you checked the “Retirement Plan” box, you have access to a workplace retirement plan, such as a 401k, which may limit your ability to receive tax benefits for other retirement plans, such as an IRA. Third-party sick pay refers to when you were paid for sick time by a firm other than the one where you were working, such as their insurance company. In most cases, the payments were not included in your W-2 wages.
This should provide you with an answer to your question.
However, as I previously stated, your employer will check or leave it unchecked if it applies or does not apply to you.
