Get your taxes done using TurboTax

IsabellaG - while I understand the intent of your answer,  do any of your scenarios cover the question asked?  joint filing, only ONE has a retirement plan and HIS MAGI is less than $101,000.

 

For  Taxpayers filing Married, Filing Joint returns, your  Traditional IRA Deduction is phased out at a joint MAGI  between $101,000-$121,000 if you are both covered by an employer retirement plan.

 

Your response covers where BOTH have a retirement plan, but not where ONE has a retirement plan. 

 

would you please mind directly responding to the scenario posed
