Deductions & credits

Yeah, that can get confusing as to which spouse they  are referring to

Spouse1:  You....working with contributions to a  401k plan.

Spouse2: working wife/husband/partner with no retirement plan coverage at work.

 

I read it as:

MFJ Spouse2 can make a full contribution to a deductible IRA, if Spouse1 is not covered by a retirement plan at work.

But Spouse1 does have a plan (401k) that was contributed to in 2025
