Retirement tax questions

As long as you are filing jointly and have entered compensation of at least as much as the combined contributions to your IRAs and your husband's IRAs, TurboTax will automatically use your compensation to support your husband's IRA contribution.  There is no place the you need to or even can explicitly indicate that a contribution is a spousal contribution.

 

If you are filing separately, no spousal contribution is permitted.
