I am 75 years old, retired. My income consists of divd/
interest, SS, pensions.
I meant to sell some covered calls in my TDA IRA account.
Instead I did it in my regular account. It amounts to
under $1400. I can xfer that position to my TDA IRA
account. I assume this is just like contributing $1400
to my TDA IRA. Can I do this? Will it create issues when
I take my RMD?

to Publication 590-A, pages 6 and 7.
It looks to me like you're out of luck, and you will need to declare
the income from your covered calls in your taxable account. Unless,
of course, you can take a part-time job and earn at least $1,400 by
the end of the year.
(I'm not a tax practitioner. By all means check out Pub 590-A
yourself.)

For that modest amount, I'd just pay the tax. The contortions to defer
tax a few years wouldn't be worth the effort.
