Since the 409-A distribution was reported in Box 1 of your W-2 it is treated as earned income for purposes of income tax. Was the 409-A distribution subject to Social Security and Medicare tax? If so, I would say you can use that income for an IRA contribution. If not, I would be hesitant to do so.
