My client's father contributes $20.00 per week to her Traditional IRA. Is she allowed to deduct the contributions.

I would be inclined to treat it as a gift and a contribution by the taxpayer.  Whether that's deductible (or even eligible) involves facts not presented in evidence.  Is there earned income?  Covered under an employer plan?  AGI?  Filing status?

If she otherwise qualifies to make a deductible IRA contribution.

This is the same as if her father gave her the money and she put it in an IRA.
