But, the Internal Revenue Service sets limits on how much you can contribute each year to an IRA. There are different limits for single taxpayers and married couples because the government recognizes a couple will likely need twice as much money to retire on than one person. Contribution Limits The maximum anyone under the age of 50 can contribute to an IRA is $5,000 per year. The maximum limit for couples is $10,000, and it doesn't matter if that comes from one person or both. IRS rules allow married couples to each make the maximum contribution even if one of the spouses didn't work that year or earn any income.
Since each spouse has a separate IRA, married couples can effectively double their annual contribution to IRAs. For example, if the annual contribution limit is $6,000 per person, the husband can contribute $6,000 to his IRA and the spouse could contribute $6,000 to her IRA for a total of $12,000 contributed to tax-sheltered IRAs in just one year.
