The contribution limits apply to each individual, so married couples may be able to contribute the contribution limit for both spouses. For example, in 2017, a married couple, both of whom are over age 50, may contribute a total of $13,000 ($6,500 each, if there is enough earned income to support this level of contribution). Note: You may continue to fund your IRA for 2016 through April 18, 2017.
If you are married and file a joint return, you may contribute to your IRA even if you don't have earned income but your spouse does. The limit goes up to $6,000 when you turn 50 years old. Any contribution that is more than these limits counts as excess. You can't contribute to a traditional IRA after age 70 1/2. If you do, the IRS counts it as an excess contribution.
