Retirement tax questions

Yes, a spouse with no earned income can contribute to an IRA based on the earned income of the other spouse. 

 

This is not an additional IRA contribution, because the spouse with no earned income is not allowed to make a regular IRA contribution, just the spousal IRA contribution.
