Forced retired (with a pension) dec 2017; severance check in Jan 2018, shows up as wages,other comp on w2; w2 retire box not checked; I'm 58 can I do a deductible IRA?

I'm thinking since the severance shows up as 2018 income on the w2 and since I was not covered by a retirement plan in 2018 (and the w2 reflects this), and I'm 58 I should be able to do an IRA.
