Retirement tax questions

Just to clarify, when you are entering the information into TurboTax for a spousal IRA, you are indicating that both you (John, for example) and your spouse (Jane, for example) are contributing to an IRA.  

 

This is not doubling the contribution to either John's or Jane's IRA, the actual contributions must also be made to John's and Jane's IRA as stated in TurboTax.  However, it is doubling the deduction if you are making a deductible Traditional IRA contribution.
