Yes, the contribution limitations for the Roth are based on your filing status. For married filing jointly, the contribution amount is phased out over $184,000 - $194,000 of Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), which is a subtotal on your tax return based on total income and adding back some of your deductions.
