spousal ira zero deduction

AGI 235 - filing jointly.  

Spouse did get a small W2 this year for a part time job of a couple thousand. 
Previous years I was able to add 6000 to spousal ira for a deduction. 

This year, no matter how hard i try - TT say's zero deduction allowed.  It does recommend i reduce to 3820 which is fine. ( i usually make a single payment in this first quarter of the new year)

But every time i go through the form it nets a zero deduction. 

 

Is there a list of things i can check that I filled out properly to allow for this deduction or is there a a cap b/c my AGI is too high? what am i missing?
