Can I make a contribution to my IRA with earnings only from social security, pension and the exercise of Non-qualified stock options. I'm finishing 2016 joint return - with both of us retired drawing pensions and social security. Also have income reported on a W-2 with all regular taxes withheld and a "V" in Box 12 for non-statutory stock options. Turbotax is prompting me to contribute to an IRA. I thought you had to have "earned income" to contribute to an IRA and earning from NQSO didn't qualify?
