I guess you'll have to override.

That's not it Phil. I have indicated to TurboTax that
neither of us participated in a retirement plan.

No, it sounds like GIGO. Probable source: "Retirement
Plan" checked in box 13 of her input W-2.

If she wasn't covered by a plan and the W-2 says she was,
it's nice if you can get the employer to issue a corrected
W-2. With or without a corrected W-2, just leave it blank
on the input form and explain to the IRS if they inquire.

Default turbotax not providing IRA deduction for spouse

I'm using Turbotax on the Web this year as I have for the
past few years. I'm running into a possible bug this year.

Turbotax allows my 3k traditional IRA contribution to be
deductible, but for some reason will not allow my spouse's
traditional IRA contribution to be deductible (even
partially).

The rules for the deduction are pretty clear cut, and we
satisfy them....neither myself nor my spouse participated in
any employer-sponsored retirement plan, we are both 32 years
old, and our combined earned income is well beyond $6000, so
we should each be allowed up to 3k deduction for traditional
IRA contribution.

Does it sound like a bug?
