Deductions & credits

I would suggest that you double-check your W2 entries. When the W2 box has "retirement plan" checked (and this is entered into TurboTax), it indicates that the individual is covered by a retirement plan.  You can be considered covered by a plan even if you do not choose to make contributions.  

If your W-2 does have the retirement plan box checked, then TurboTax is giving you the correct result.  If it does not, then double-check the W-2 entry in TurboTax to be sure the box didn't get marked by accident there.
