Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I had two W-2s in 2018.  Both are over $5500.

1040 Line 6 (MAGI) is over $121,000, but under $189,000.

Line 10 is checked for both.  My box is black and cannot be unchecked.  My spouse's box is blue and can be unchecked.  I went back to the interview and removed the IRA contribution, but the worksheet still shows both boxes checked as before.

 

I went back to the interview to re-enter the contribution, and it continues to show that I don't qualify.  Clicking the help link shows the error of my ways.  It says that if I contributed to a SEP, this is considered a work retirement plan.  So I guess that's the problem.  Interesting that it wasn't doing this before the update.  Now I will need to go back and see if I'm better off doing the TIRA contribution instead of the SEP.

 

Thanks for all your help!

 

Edit to add - I just removed my SEP contribution and it's now accepting my full IRA deduction.
