spousal ira contribution question

if someone with magi of over 300k has a spouse with a sole proprietorship that nets 5k, can the spouse who nets 5k from the sole proprietorship contribute to an IRA and get a deduction?

Or because the spouse has a plan at work is the deduction disallowed because they make over 228k?

As always, thank you



Joint MAGI of this amount eliminates the deduction for either spouse if even one spouse is covered by a workplace plan. A non deductible spousal contribution could be made however, since there is no income limit for ND contributions. Perhaps a back door Roth would work for either spouse, if such spouse does not have pre tax IRA balances already in existence.
