Roth IRA contribution

[moore3ttax]

If your spouse has earnings income, and I am on social security only,  am I allowed to contribute to a Rollover Roth IRA?  IF you file joint taxes, it seems to indicate it is possible, ..

Yes, if you are filing jointly you may be able to make IRA contributions based on the taxable compensation reported on your joint return. Your total contributions to both your IRA and your spouse’s IRA may not exceed your joint taxable income or the annual contribution limit times two, whichever is less. It doesn't matter which spouse earned the income.

How much can I contribute to an IRA?

If both spouses had income, it really does matter.

Since you said you had no income your spouse can contribute for you up to his earnings not used up in his own IRA, if any.
