Retirement tax questions

Yes, TurboTax will automatically verify if your and your spouse's traditional IRA contribution is deductible. 

 

To clarify, your spouse is not covered by a retirement plan but you are covered by one since you mention the $198,000 limit. (If she is covered by a retirement plan at work then the limit is $105,000.)

 

You might want to check if her W-2 has the retirement box checked or has a retirement entry in box 12:

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “W-2”
  2. Click on “Jump to W-2”

 

Please see IRA deduction limits for additional information.
