Traditional IRA contribution

schellkm · ‎January 15, 2020

My company started offering a retirement account in November. Prior to that, I was contributing to a traditional IRA. The TurboTax program won't deduct my IRA contribution for the year stating that it can't be deducted if your employer offers a retirement program, however, they did not have one when I was contributing. Any advice on how to fix this?

If you are covered by a retirement plan at work (even for one month in the year), you are considered and covered. Unfortunately, this is how the tax code works.

As a covered individual, your IRA deduction may be limited or completely eliminated depending on your modified AGI in 2019.
