Get your taxes done using TurboTax
the maximum when qualifying for the full year is 7750 which can be deposited in either account or split any way you want. The extra $1000 for being over 55 can only go into that person's account, since you are both over 55 each can make the $1000 contribution but it must be to their own account.
2= 8889s need to be filed one for you and one for her. since she has family coverage (didn't she?) you are deemed to have family coverage so make sure both 8889s have family coverage checked. if you entered your $1000 on her 8889 then Turbotax rightly determines there's an over-contribution since her max is 8750 so your $1000 + her $8300 puts the total at 9300. Also, make sure each w-2 is properly coded as taxpayer or spouse. Many forget this and it causes all sorts of problems
