I am a SAHD with no W-2 income. I do have investment income. We file jointly. My wife has plenty of W-2 income. In the past we have contributed to my Roth based upon the IRS's spousal IRA provision. This year, I was considering instead of contributing to my Roth, contributing to a regular IRA in my name. Would this lower her W-2 income for tax purposes in the same way that it would if she was contributing in her own name?
Thanks
