Thanks. Yes, I do that - create entry for my contribution and for spouse contribution - these are separate entries.
In the IRA Contribution interview, however, there is no place that I can find to indicate my status as a spousal contribution, and so far I can't get TT to recognize that. My income was zero, spouse has the W2 for $4999 (value is less than contribution limit). When I enter an IRA contribution value of $4999 for me, TT calculates a penalty for excessive contribution.
So, I still have the same question - how can I get TT to recognize that I am making a spousal IRA contribution? I anticipate there is a different way to enter the information, that I don't yet see?
