Retirement tax questions

I'm getting a notice that I cannot deduct my IRA contribution because of an income limit.  This should not apply as neither I nor my spouse are covered at work.

 

My W-2 does NOT have box 13 checked, nor any field in box 12 filled (neither the actual W-2 nor the one in TT generated).

 

I never got any prompt specifically asking me if I or my spouse was covered and I cannot find where to assert that I am not.

 

However I note that my spouse does receive 1099-R income from military retirement (non-qualified plan).  Is this the problem?

 

Thanks much @DanaB27
