If you don't qualify for a deductible IRA, you can still contribute to a non-deductible IRA, then convert to a Roth IRA (back-door Roth). 

Nondeductible IRAs are available to anyone with earned income regardless of how much they make, although few people use them since they don't offer any upfront tax benefit.

This will give you tax-deferred growth in the nondeductible IRA, and if you convert to a Roth IRA, tax-free treatment later.
