Guest jeulowetz Posted February 17, 2000 Posted February 17, 2000 I have been contributing $2000 a year since it was available. I file jointly with my wife, but she no longer works. I was told since she does not work, she (or we)cannot contribute another $2000 into her Roth aco****. SHe does have one from wehn I rolled over her IRA account from when she was working a few years ago. Can we contribute another $2000 for her, even if she is not working, yet files jointly with me (I do qualigy).
Michael Devault Posted February 18, 2000 Posted February 18, 2000 Yes. Since you file a joint return, you can contribute $2,000 to an IRA or a Roth IRA (but not both) for your non-working spouse. This information, as well as other information about IRAs and Roth IRAs, can be found in IRS Publication 590. Hope this is of benefit to you. Good luck!
