Turbo Tax is saying that my Modified Adjusted Gross income is over the current Roth limit of $10,000. Isn't the actual limit $144,000? How can I update this?

Yes.  If you are living together, filing separately and your modified AGI is $10,000 or more your Roth IRA contribution is reduced.

What is your fling status?  Married?  If so, are you filing as MFS or MFJ?  If MFS are you and your spouse living together?
