No, nontaxable retirement income is not considered earned income. If this was long-term disability benefits received prior to minimum retirement age, then it would be. But, retirement income is specifically listed as NOT earned income.
This would be the reason you are getting the alert that you overcontributed. You have to have earned income in order to contribute.
