Your deduction may be limited if you (or your spouse, if you are married) are covered by a retirement plan at work and your income exceeds certain levels, see IRA Deduction Limits.

Does box 11 of the W-2 have the same amount as is in box 1? If so, it's income from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan and does not support an IRA contribution.
