SEP IRA CONTRIBUTION FOR WIFE’S SEP IRA?

Both husband and wife have SEP IRA’s. She stopped working as his income will exceed 800k this year. he can’t fund a roth or trad IRA and max’s out his 401k for being over 50.

QUESTION:

1. Can a client contribute to his wifes’ SEP even if she did not bring in any income in 2021 like you can with funding a Roth or Trad IRA if one spouse only works?

Thank you,

Douglas



No. Spousal SEP contributions are not allowed. The only contribution allowed for her is a spousal non deductible TIRA contribution.
