Taxpayer has wages, spouse not working.  Income $100K.  Taxpayer Roth allowed, but spouse not allowed - why?  Prior years same scenario and both contributions allowed.

Figured out my own answer!  taxpayer retired early with only $5K wages and  the total ROTH wen to him, none left for spouse.  I divided it between them and all is well.

"Income $100K"

That would be the difference, then. Earned income vs Income. Thanks for posting your realization.
