Roth IRA Contributions

In 2018, I contributed the maximum amount allowable for my Roth IRA, but when I went to file my taxes in April 2019, TurboTax indicated that I could NOT submit a contribution at all.  I had to go to my bank and went to great effort to have the amount retracted.

 

There was some lame notation but I don’t remember what it was.  Was this because my income was only $17,000 +/-)?  I don’t think that should be the case if it was.  For I could have used my savings or cash-on-hand to make the contribution.  Do you have an idea why this happened?
