Do active military members have a limit to how much they can contribute to the ROTH IRA? How do I stop the system from falsely flagging my contribution?

Active military shouldnt have a penalty, Ive asked tsp.gov themselves, turbo tax has no way around this on their website without forcing you to pay for a live agent

Military members can contribute to a Roth IRA or a Traditional IRA if they are eligible based on their income, filing status and having a retirement plan at work.

Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible

How much did you contribute?  Are you sure you have a IRA?  Does it come out of your paycheck?  If it's a different kind of IRA like though the employer then you only enter it from the W2 and not under Deductions as a contribution.
