IRA Tax Problem

The state is Wisconsin.
One of my accounts was established from a 401(k) direct rollover to a traditional IRA, the other was establishing a Roth IRA. I thought that I had the ability to contribute the full $2000 limit into the Roth IRA and that the rollover did not factor into the $2000 limit. Is this true or not? I am still having some problems doing my taxes and figuring this out as I get prompted that I have made excessive contributions, because the traditional IRA rollover and Roth IRA amount is more than $2000.

True.
The contribution limits are coordinated under §408, and is limited to $2,000 total,...without regard to the roll over.
