Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Turbo Tax is stating that my Roth Contribution was too high, as it's saying my earned income "was only zero"; however, I earned far above my roth contribution in 2024.

How do I get my earned income to show > 0? My W2 has already been imported in.

Check your W2 and see if it imported correctly.  I would delete the W2 and enter it again MANUALLY.    Are you married?  Be sure the W2 and IRA contribution are assigned to the same person.  Do you have any self employment income?

Yeah, I had to reimport the W2 -- that ended up fixing the issue. Thanks for the help!
