If my wife and I are filing jointly, and we make less than 150 k a year, can we each contribute $4000 to a Roth IRA? (making the total contribution $8000). Assuming we open separate Roth IRA accounts, of course. Thanks!

If that is earned income.... answer is yes. Both can qualify based upon the earned income on one spouse. Also, you have 1 week left to make 2005 contributions... so you could effectively fund 4K, 4K, 4K and 4K to cover both of you for two years. Also, if you are over 50 - you can contribute $4,500 each because of the "make-up" provisions.
