Is a cd the same as a ira

IRS does not care what you do with your funds as long as they stay in the IRA account.

you must be eligible for a deduction to deduct the $2,000

If you are eligible, TurboTax will deduct it.

Yes, as long as the CD is specified as an IRA CD you can still claim the $2,000 retirement investment.  TurboTax will compare this with all your other information to determine your allowed deduction from the investment.

To enter your IRA deduction into TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

1. Sign into your TurboTax account
2. Open or continue to your return
3. In the search bar, type ira contributions and select the Jump to link in the search results
4. We'll take you to the Traditional IRA and Roth IRA screen, where you can start the IRA interview
