It depends- if you were covered by a 401k for any part of the tax year, your traditional IRA deduction may be limited by your modified adjusted gross income. See IRA deduction if you are covered by a retirement plan at work - 2024 for the 2024 amounts.
"Covered by a plan at work" covers the entire tax year eve if you were only able to contribute for a shorter amount of time.
You can still make the nondeductible contributions, but it is usually better to contribute to the Roth IRA. Your earnings will not be taxable with the Roth if it is a qualified distribution.
