As Critter-3 mentioned, you have the option to recharacterize the contribution to be a traditional IRA contribution, but if your spouse (or you, but you said you are not employed) is an active participant in a workplace retirement plan, the traditional IRA contribution will be nondeductible due to your high modified AGI. I assume that it's your spouse's Roth IRA contribution that needs to be recharacterized since you mentioned that your contributions are already traditional IRA contributions, not Roth IRA contributions. You own traditional IRA contributions will also be nondeductible. Because each individual's traditional IRA contributions (including the one resulting from the recharacterization) will be nondeductible, your 2022 tax return will include a Form 8606 for each of you.
The net gain or loss attributable to the contribution that is being recharacterized is required to accompany the recharacterized contribution from the Roth IRA to the traditional IRA. The amount recharacterized and treated as a traditional IRA contribution will be $4,000 even though the amount transferred by recharacterization is different.
