I have a client who sold a rental property and is showing capital gains of $140K and has $60K of earned income.  She asked me if she could contribute to a Traditional IRA, which I said that she was above the income limit to be deductible.  I entered the $7K contribution and it is showing that it is fully deductible and isn't taking into account the capital gains.  Should this be deductible or not?

Is she covered be a retirement plan at work?  Is the W-2 entry worksheet marked for that?

She does have a 401K through her work, she owns the business and collects a W2 and K1.  It is not marked on the W2.

It should be. And you should check that box on the W-2 worksheet.
