The spousal IRA was introduced in 1996 as part of the Small Business Job Protection Act. This provision allows a non-working or low-earning spouse to contribute to an individual retirement account (IRA), enabling couples to maximize their retirement savings. It recognizes the financial contributions of non-working spouses and helps them build their own retirement funds.
Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) were introduced in 1974 with the enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). As Congress originally conceived the accounts, participants could contribute up to $1,500 a year and reduce their taxable income by the amount of their contributions.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) generally start at age 72. This age was established by the SECURE Act, which was enacted in December 2019, changing the previous starting age from 70½. RMDs must be taken annually, and the first distribution can be delayed until April 1 of the year following the account holder's 72nd birthday.
In the year that you start taking distributions from your IRA account.
Yes, as long you or your spouse (if filing jointly) have earned income equal to or greater than the RMD for that tax year.
You can set up and make contributions to a traditional IRA if:You (or, if you file a joint return, your spouse) received taxable compensation during the year, andYou were not age 70½ by the end of the year.You can have a traditional IRA whether or not you are covered by any other retirement plan.

No. The only two ways an IRA touchable is by your spouse or the IRS. Debt collectors can bluff and threaten you but don't give in. IRA is as safe as the gold in Fort Knox except spouse and IRS
Yes. Whether or not you can deduct the IRA contribution depends on a variety of factors. Whether or not you can contribute to a Roth IRA depends on your income (or that of you and your spouse combined, if you are married).

The impact of divorce on the Roth IRA 5-year rule depends on the specific circumstances of the divorce settlement. In general, if a Roth IRA is divided as part of the divorce settlement, the 5-year rule for each spouse's portion of the account may be affected. It is important to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the implications of divorce on Roth IRA rules.
A spousal IRA is a type of retirement account for a single person where the person's spouse can put money into the account for them if the spouse is working and the partner who's name the account is in is out of work. This makes an exception to the rule that a person must be earning an income to have an IRA.
The typical age of withdrawal for an IRA is 70 and 1/2. If you have a Traditional IRA you are required to start withdrawals on April 1st the calendar year after you reach this age. If you have a Roth IRA you are not required to withdraw at that time.
In most cases, the spouse of the owner of an IRA is the default beneficiary. Therefore, there would be a legal document that would need to be signed acknowledging that he or she is not a beneficiary.
No, the inherited funds (beneficiary IRA) have to remain in inherited (beneficiary) form. So the account/funds can only be distributed out of the beneficary IRA as a distribution or transfer to another alike roth beneficiary account at another firm. However, the deceased account can be transferred into the surviving spouse Roth IRA (or transfer to a beneficiary IRA account). A non-spouse doesn't have this option- they can only transfer to their beneficiary IRA account that they opened.
Spouse certainly not. Others possibly.
No, in order to contribute to a Roth IRA, an individual must have earned income. Retirement income, such as pensions or Social Security benefits, does not count as earned income for the purposes of contributing to a Roth IRA. Therefore, if your spouse has retired and is no longer earning income from work, they would not be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA.
