IRA deduction worksheet:

Line 2:  Spouse $0,   Self: $29,436

Line 3: Spouse $7,000,  Self:  $7,000


You indicated that you are self-employed - do you have a self employed SEP or SIMPLE plan?   Or other SE retirement plan?

 

 The amount of deduction should be on line 16 of the worksheet.   If 16 is less than line 4 then follow the line 5-15 calculations to find out why.
