Deductions & credits

jimb108, the deduction for an IRA contribution for the spouse who is covered by a workplace retirement plan phases out between $104,000 and $124,000 for 2020.  That means that your wife's traditional IRA contribution is nondeductible.  However, because you are not covered by a workplace retirement plan the deduction for your own traditional IRA contribution phases out between $196,000 and $206,000.
