I enter my income and that of my wife.  When I go to make an IRA contribution the software is telling me that I made too much and I cannot contribute to my IRA and take the deduction.  How can I correct this?

    Your IRA contribution may be limited if you and/or your spouse contributed to an employer-sponsored or self-employed retirement plan in 2021. If you were covered by a plan at work or through self-employment, you may be above the phase-out range where you cannot deduct anything. The phase-out range is $105,000 - $125,000. 

     

    See this TurboTax Help article for the details of the phase-out income range.

    Good morning,

    The answer was correct, it did a few times reading it to fully understand the meaning.

    Thank you!
