IRA deductibility error

The 2024 Premier program is allowing full deductibility for both my wife and I for a traditional IRA despite the fact that our MAGI is well above the limits for MFJ and one spouse with a retirement plan at work ($146k).  I think it is only considering my W-2 wages, but other income such as IRA distributions makes our MAGI well above the income limit for full deductability of a traditional IRA.  My finanical advisor tells me the we can't deduct.

 

This is the second time I have discovered errors in TurboTax so it will be my last year using the program.

Have you confirmed that the "Retirement plan" box on your W-2 is checked?

 

If so, we can look at your return and see exactly what you see to help come to a resolution. The return will be scrubbed and won't include any of your personal details.
