There is no code for reporting a regular traditional IRA contribution, only contributions you make to employer-provided plans (which, as Bsch4477 indicated, can include elective deferrals to a SIMPLE IRA, the amount of which your employer already subtracted from the amount that otherwise would have been reported in box 1 of your W-2).

 

If you are asking about entries in box 12 of a W-2, enter the amounts shown in box 12 of your W-2 only in box 12 of TurboTax's W-2 form, nowhere else in TurboTax.
