    Click on Deductions and Credits
    Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
    Scroll down to Retirement and Investments
    On Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions, click the start or update button

    You can enter your traditional IRA contributions to either take a deduction, or track your basis if your income is too high to take a deduction. 

     

    Here is how to do this in TurboTax Online:

     

    1. Navigate to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Retirement and Investments > Traditional IRA and Roth IRA Start or Revisit
    2. Choose Traditional IRA box and select Continue.
    3. On the Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution? screen, choose No.
    4. On the Tell Us How Much You Contributed screen, enter the amount contributed and select Continue.
    5. On the Did You Change Your Mind? screen, select No, then answer the questions on the following screens.
