bzorc Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 US Citizen is married to a Resident Alien. US Citizen has W-2 compensation and is not covered by an eligible retirement plan. US Citizen may make an IRA Contribution, but can an IRA be made on behalf of the spouse who is a Resident Alien? Publication 590 does not address this scenario. Thanks for any replies.

Yes, your key facts are that it's a Resident Alien and that it's US W-2 income.
