Contribution to IRA

[HH55]

I contributed 2000.00 to my traditional IRA. It tells me that it cannot be used because my earned income is Zero because I did not get W-2s this year but 1099-R that show my wages. Under the tab of wages and salaries on Turbo Tax Zero is shown. Under Pension Plans where 1099-R my income is shown there. What can be done so that my contribution to my IRA can be credited

Sorry a 1099R is not for wages but for retirement plan payments like from a pension.  Unless you retired on disability and have a 3 in box 7.

If you were paid wages you would get a W2.  Why are your wages on a 1099R?  Ask your employer.
