How do I set up an IRA for my non-working spouse? Do they need their own M1 account? can it be a roth?
m
they need their own m1 account. it can be traditional, roth or both. keep in mind the limit is combined across roth and traditional. You can't max out both.
d
right, but she gets her own limit (we file jointly) even tho its one income, correct?
m
right! as long as the income is greater than the amount you put into both. meaning you can't put in more than you made.

got it, thanks
