When you are filing as Married Filing Separate there are many credits and limits that are lower. One of these limits is the income amount for being able to deduct a contribution to an IRA.
Married Filing Separate the phase-out for being able to deduct an IRA contribution begins at $0 and ends at $10,000. Once you have $10,000 of income you are no longer able to deduct a contribution to an IRA account.
