1099 MISC belongs to me , NOT my spouse

I am a part time real estate agent and received two 1099 MISC forms, which I filed under the business section and marked that they apply to ME. My husband is a regular W-2 employee and has regular income.

When I tried to input our Traditional IRA contributions, it said my husband couldn't qualify for a pre-tax deduction because his income was over $118,000, when let's say in reality his income was $85,000 and mine was $40,000. We are filing jointly, so is that why? But his belongs to him and mine belongs to me.
