OK thanks, so for the purposes of determining how much of my contribution is deductible I must include my military pension income?

I don't understand.Does table 1.1 not indicate that pension is excluded from AGI for IRA purposes?

590-A Table 1-1 shows that compensation for purposes of an IRA excludes pensions

Is "military pension" not considered "pension?" 590-A indicates that compensation for purposes of an IRA does not include income from pensions.
