Hi MichaelG81
Thank you for your helpful reply.
I did everything according to your advice and followed TT instructions…. Unfortunately, I still was disqualified for deductible ira contribution according to the spousal ira because I was covered by the retirement at work.
I have been retired for the last 6 years, I have NO W-2, but I don’t know why TT keeps saying that I am covered by the retirement at work.
I used TOOLS option, then was able to get to see our (married, filing joint returns) IRA contribution worksheets and I noticed that the item “covered by the retirement at work” was marked YES for my spouse (correct) and myself which is incorrect. I deleted these pages and redo the Retirement/Investment… the result is the same, incorrectly, I am STILL covered by the retirement at work…
