RajeevaRaju please be aware, the "Income Too High To Deduct an IRA Contribution" message is not an error message. As mentioned in my instructions step 10: "If you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a screen saying $0 is deductible". This screen will be after the warning that your contribution isn't deductible because of your MAGI.

Please be aware, line 4a is showing your total IRA distributions, not your nondeductible IRA contributions. If you had IRA distributions then please verify that the IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE box is checked on your Form 1099-R entry.

trbelair, did your spouse convert a traditional to Roth IRA in 2021? The $7,000 contributed in 2022 for 2021 will be converted in 2022 and the conversion has to be entered on your 2022 tax return. For your spouse, you will only enter the nondeductible traditional IRA contribution for 2021 on your 2021 tax return, unless you had some other amount converted.

youngkuurus, I reviewed the information, thank you. 

It seems as if you only had distributions from pension plans when I looked at your Form 1099-R entries. None of the Forms had the  IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE box checked. If you had distributions/ conversions from a traditional IRA then please make sure the  IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE box is checked. Then these amounts will be listed in line 4 Form 1040.

Please be aware, the statement "<name> modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is $xxx,xxx which puts <name> over the limit for IRA deductions. To deduct a contribution, you can't have a MAGI over $125,000 while being covered by a retirement plan at work" is not an error. As mentioned in my instructions step 10: "If you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a screen saying $0 is deductible". This screen will be after the warning that your contribution isn't deductible because of your MAGI.
