Spousal IRA
Up to $7,500
Can You Write Off Spousal IRA?
Short answer: Yes, a working spouse can fund a deductible IRA for a non-working spouse when filing jointly.
Deductibility phases out if the working spouse has a workplace plan and income is high.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
