Spousal IRA
An individual retirement account (IRA) opened in the name of a nonworking spouse. A married couple that establishes such an IRA may contribute up to $2,250 between two IRAs as long as neither account exceeds a contribution of $2,000. If both spouses were employed, they could each contribute up to $2,000 for a combined total of $4,000.
