Hello - I have a question about this topic this year (2021), although I have a different situation. Background: I worked in 2021, but my husband did NOT. We both made IRA contributions since I made enough at work to cover them both.
I am unsure how to answer the question on TurboTax that asks if my husband was covered by a retirement plan at work.
He did not work, so I feel like the answer should be he was NOT covered by a retirement plan at work. However, I am not sure since he was only allowed to make an IRA contribution because I worked and therefore maybe since I was covered by a retirement plan at work, he is also considered covered by my retirement plan.
Additionally, I don't think this has any bearing on the situation, but want to make sure. My husband is a military retiree who gets a military retirement, but since he no longer works (for past 2.5 years) he isn't currently covered by a retirement plan at work.
