I just opened up a Roth IRA for the first time. I put in money for 2016, hoping to be able to contribute for 2017 later in the year. I am now trying to do my taxes. I use H & R Block online. Do I need to put a Roth IRA contribution anywhere on my taxes? The tax program did not have anywhere to include it - there were places for a Roth IRA within a 401K, 403B, etc. but nowhere that I could see for it outside one of those. Maybe I am just missing it. And if I do need to put it on my taxes, would it be my 2016 taxes since it is for that contribution year, or would I put it on my 2017 taxes since it was actually put in this year?
