How much is  your W2 income?  Or do you have self employment income?  Do you have enough earned income from working to make the contribution?

As VolvoGirl indicated, there is an income limit to the amount of contributions that can be made to a ROTH IRA.  I have enclosed 3 links for you to view that can expand on that explanation.  It all comes down to what is called your "Modified Adjusted Gross Income".  What constitutes MAGI is also detailed in a link below:
