Retirement tax questions

You got a bonus for me.  Champ MacUser_22 printed out the worksheet for you.  I can see from that that TurboTax was not adding my self-employment income to my W-2 income and therefore allowing only the amount on my W-2 for my contribution.  I was having trouble with the self-employment health insurance deduction with another program, so came over to TurboTax and encountered the error for the contributions.  It seems like there's a glitch on this worksheet, or both of us are doing something wrong.  I went back to the other program and got my problem with the SE health insurance solved because this year those people are answering the phone, at least so far.


Your total income for IRA contribution on that worksheet comes form both the W-2 and the 1040 form Schedule 1 line 3 minus Schedule 1 line 14.   Schedule 1 line 3 comes form the Schedule C line 31.
