Retirement tax questions

The modified AGI limits are different for the spouse participating in the workplace retirement plan and the spouse who does not.  For 2018, although you might not be eligible for a deduction for your own IRA contribution because MAGI is above $121,000, if MAGI is $189,000 or below, your spouse is eligible for full deduction for your spouse's IRA contribution.  If MAGI is $199,000 or more, no deduction is permitted.  Between MAGI of $189,000 and $199,000 your spouse is eligible for a partial deduction.
