It depends on how you filed your DC returns. According to the Instructions published by the DC Dept of Revenue:
If you are filing separately you have a max of $4,000, but can carry over your contributions for up to five years. If you filed separate on a combined return, you will both get the $4,000
If you are married and file a joint or combined separate return, each spouse/registered domestic partner may deduct up to $4,000 for contributions made to all accounts for which that spouse/registered domestic partner is the sole owner.
Contributions made to one or more accounts in excess of the allowable $4,000 ($8,000 for eligible joint filers) annual deduction may be carried forward as a deduction (subject to the annual limitation) for up to five years.
