Jury Duty, earned income, and Roth Contribution
I am using TT Premier 2019, and have entered my jury duty pay (a whooping $105) for 2019 into the "Jury Duty" section of income. I shows up on line 12 and on line 24 in the "Other Income Statement". It also shows up on line 7a on the 1040 Form.
I am retired, and this is the only "earned income" I have for 2019, so I made a $105 contribution to my Roth IRA for 2019. TT tells me, during review, that I have "over contributed" to my Roth IRA by $105, and I will owe a penalty. Obviously TT is not recognizing the Jury Duty pay as "earned income". Have others seen this, and will there be a correction so TT Premier 2019 will recognize this as income and eligible for Roth contribution?
