Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

If I make 68K a year and am a 54 y o single woman and I maxed out my Roth IRA at 7500, why is Turbo Tax not giving me the deduction?

I thought it was over 77K this year to not get it.

You don't get a deduction with a Roth IRA. The advantage to a Roth IRA is that distributions later will be tax free. 

 

With a traditional IRA you can receive a deduction and then you pay tax later on the distributions.
