Question regarding "Payments to tax-deferred pension and retirement savings plans"

Does your dad work for the government? Does he work for a city or town?

If not, HE is choosing to take these deductions…not the government.

If your dad works for a city or town,or the federal government, please let us know that here.

I talked to my dad and he said he works for an independent company that works for the city.

Does your dad know who holds his 401k? He should be able to go online to his account and SEE the number that was put in his account in 2015.

The company that he works for holds his 401k.

With what 401 k company?

He works for a gasoline company, which holds his 401k…

The number that i put says 401k. I don’t know why I’m having a hard time understanding the problem…

MODERATOR’S NOTE: OP, you need to have your parents find out what their employer did on the w-2 form. There’s nothing else we can tell you. I am closing the thread.
