You have to look at form 8880, to see that. In TurboTax, you cannot see the forms until you pay your fee.

A common reason is that the qualifying amount, of this year's contribution must be reduced for any IRA, 401k, or pension withdrawals, in the last three years, by either you or your spouse. This reduction will be shown on form 8880.
