Thanks for your reply AnnetteB6! Unfortunately when I hit step 7, it was not a yes or no option, only a $ amount box so I entered zero. Step 8 did not surface and it went directly to step 9 where I entered zero. Steps 10 and 11 went smoothly (yes / zero responses) however I still received the same result as before "Income too high to deduct an IRA contribution". I presume this is a default response by turbotax and will not negatively impact my return? The good news is the Federal Tax Due amount dropped after starting over and following your instructions and the 1099-R portion went smoothly as well.
Thank you very much for your assistance!
