Retirement tax questions
Sorry but none of that is my problem. This is a traditional IRA in my name I work very little at a part time job so basically a non working spouse. My income was $7010 but since I am over 50 I am able to contribute $8000 total. My husband retired last year but still had $1793(bonus) in earned income of which $990 is to be put into my IRA account. His w-2 was marked retirement plan but due to his retirement early in the year and no company funds were put into his 401k he wasn't truly covered and he will be requesting a corrected w-2. The problem is the IRS says I can contribute my $7010 and my husband can contribute the extra $990 because we file MFJ and have the combined earned income to cover it but your turbotax, while it allowed this just fine in 2023, is not allowing it in 2024 and keeps insisting I can only contribute $7010. AND BTW, I have not found any place in your software (Home and Business) that even mentions a non working spousal IRA contribution.
The fact that you, and expert, don't know this is even more disappointing. Get back to me when you fix your glitch.
