Full Deduction of Traditional IRA if you have No 401K or other Retirement Plan at workplace

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

For 2026, the total contributions you make each year to all of your traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs can’t be more than:

  • $7,500 ($8,600 if you’re age 50 or older), or
  • If less, your taxable compensation for the year

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.
