I was informed at IRS Website that if You ( and spouse if married) both have NO Retirement Plan like a 401K or 403b at your workplace -- that you are able to Fully DEDUCT a Traditional IRA for that year.
Is this true? Does Turbotax show you how to do this . ( I use On line version of Premium Turbotax)
Do they ask you this question about No having a Retirement plan at workplace on the Turbotax and then allow this Deduction? Thanks for your Help

Yes I Know where the IRA section is located on the On- Line Turbotax Premium---BUT do they On Turbotax ask this specific Question about NOT having a 401K or other Retirement Plan at your workplace and thus enabling you to Deduct the full Traditional IRA amount for the year.? Thanks.
@DAJ2500 Yes, there is a question in the IRA contribution interview asking if you are covered by a retirement plan at work.
Still have questions?
