To recap, you verified that your W-2 entry doesn't accidentally have box 13 checked, but are getting the message you cannot deduct your traditional IRA contribution because of your income and a retirement plan at work.
The retirement plan coverage question should come up during the IRA contribution interview if none of the W-2s have box 13 checked:
- Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
- Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
- Select “traditional IRA”
- Continue until you get the "Retirement Plan Coverage" screen and select "no"
